I would not consider this to be an extremely complex whisky, rather it is crisp and clean.

As the glass breathes, the oak spice gains steam, hints of cardamom and cinnamon appear, and a light caramel toffee builds. The aroma is clean and spicy with ginger and oak accenting a honeyed toffee. When I gave my glass the customary tilt and slow swirl and a thin layer of whisky was imparted to the sides of the glass which released long, fast-moving slender legs. In the glass the whisky is a nice amber colour with tinges of orange apparent in the light. The presentation features a rodeo’s bucking horse symbol and the Let’er Buck® slogan both of which were created to celebrate the spirit of independence and hard-work ethic of the American cowboy and cowgirl. The labeling is clear and uncluttered, and each bottle bears a copy of the approving signature of R.R. It is sealed with a nice high density cork which provides that satisfying ‘pop’ when opened. The Pendleton Whisky arrives in a in a short squat clear bottle. This is a non age stated whisky bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume. The whisky is named to honour The Pendleton Round-up, a well-respected rodeo in Pendleton, Oregon, and in fact, Pendleton Whisky sponsors numerous rodeos, including the aforementioned the Pendleton Round-Up, the Cheyenne Frontier Days, and the Walla Walla Frontier Days.

The spirit is then transported to Oregon where it is brought to bottling proof by Hood River Distillers using the glacial fed waters from Mt. Pendleton (Let’er Buck) Canadian Whisky is distilled and aged in Canada.
