Produced by Hood River Distillers, Trail's End Whiskey is a double-aged bourbon that is aged in Kentucky in new charred white Oak barrels for eight years. Then it's brought to Oregon, where it is steeped with Oregon Oak staves in stainless steel vats for a few months. The bourbon has hints of floral honeysuckle, apricot, spearmint and orange blossom with roasted hazelnut and traces of cereal sweetness and chocolate. Yum. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?
Don't forget to drink responsibly. Cheers!
