Pendleton Canadian Whisky Blended Midnight

Pendleton Midnight is a super-premium blended Canadian whisky that stands out within the Pendleton range for its darker, richer profile, inspired by the mystery of sundown at the rodeo.

Key Characteristics:

• Blend Composition: It’s a blend of Canadian whiskies.

• Brandy Barrel Finish: A significant portion of the blend is aged for over six years in American brandy barrels, which is a key differentiator and imparts unique fruit-forward characteristics.

• Water Source: Made with pure, glacier-fed spring water from Oregon’s Mt. Hood, despite being a Canadian whisky (blended and bottled in Oregon, USA).

• Proof: Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof), giving it a bit more punch than the standard Pendleton Original (40% ABV).

• Tribute: Continues the brand’s association with the Pendleton Round-Up rodeo.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Musky notes of leather mingle with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a trace of ginger.

• Palate: Full and well-balanced oak, complemented by hints of coffee cake, nuts, caramelized bananas, and candied figs. The brandy barrel influence brings forth a fruitier profile, often with notes of red fruits, ginger, and molasses.

• Finish: A full-bodied and satisfying finish with a lingering “smolder” of spices, pecans, and walnuts. It’s described as smooth, with notes of honey, red fruits, and cinnamon persisting.

Awards & Recognition:

• Rated 96 points by the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
• Received a Gold Medal from Tastings.com (Beverage Testing Institute) with a score of 92 points, noting its “generous and gratifying Canadian Whisky with lovely layers of chocolate, nuts and fruit and a long warming finish.”

Overall Impression:

Pendleton Midnight is designed for those who appreciate a complex and exceptionally smooth whisky. The aging in brandy barrels adds a unique layer of fruitiness and richness, setting it apart from other Canadian whiskies. It’s often recommended for sipping neat, over ice, or as a base for premium cocktails, offering a fuller-bodied and more robust experience than the original Pendleton.
