THE END of one path forms the beginning of another. This is not just our philosophy but our story. Trail’s End is a true-born Kentucky Bourbon aged in charred new American Oak barrels. It then travels west to Hood River, Oregon where it undergoes a unique finishing process and is proofed with glacier-fed spring water from Mt. Hood. What emerges is an instant classic.
First collaboration between Hood River Distillers, the oldest distillery in Oregon, and our expert team at Clear Creek Distillery, the second-oldest distillery in Oregon.
TASTE: Initial introduction of roasted apples, hazelnut, chocolate, and candy cap mushroom continues mid-palate. A long finish of sweet cream and more hazelnut neatly ties in the initial aroma, resulting in a cohesive profile.
AROMAS: Considerably less opening bite with the introduction of Garryana Oak. Focused aromas of toasted hazelnut, stone fruit, ruby port, and apple.
FINISH: Finishes long and warm, oily and buttery with a lovely malt spice kick and slight char note.
