After Dark, Pendleton Gets Serious. Meet the Whisky That Was Born in a Brandy Barrel.

Pendleton Midnight starts where the original leaves off and then goes somewhere entirely different. Blended Canadian whisky aged and finished for over six years in American brandy barrels, it carries a depth and richness that hits you from the first nose. At 90 proof and 45% ABV, this is a full-bodied spirit with real presence, not a flavored whisky, not a gimmick. Just exceptional barrel craft doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

The brandy barrel finish is the story here. Those barrels leave behind layers of dark fruit, warm spice, and a silky sweetness that wraps around the rye backbone like a second skin. The result is a whisky that is complex enough to sip slowly and bold enough to anchor any cocktail. Once you try Midnight, the original feels like the opening act.

🥃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dark cherry, toasted oak, warm cinnamon, dried fig, and a hint of brandy sweetness
• Palate: Full-bodied and rich. Dark fruit, baking spice, caramel, and a wave of brandy-kissed warmth that coats the palate
• Finish: Long and smooth. Lingering cinnamon, vanilla, and a subtle brandy sweetness that fades slowly and cleanly

🍸 How to Enjoy

• Neat or with one ice cube: At 90 proof, Midnight opens up beautifully with just a touch of chill. Let it breathe for a minute and the brandy notes bloom.
• Midnight Manhattan: 2 oz Pendleton Midnight, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Stir over ice, strain into a coupe, garnish with a brandied cherry.
• Dark and Stormy Riff: 2 oz Pendleton Midnight, 4 oz ginger beer, squeeze of lime, dash of bitters. The brandy finish plays beautifully against the ginger.
• Gift it: The dark label, bold proof, and brandy barrel story make Midnight one of the most interesting whisky gifts you can give. Perfect for anyone who thinks they already know Pendleton.

📖 The Story Behind the Bottle

Pendleton Midnight was created for the whisky drinker who wants more. More proof, more complexity, more barrel character. Hood River Distillers took their premium Canadian whisky blend and made a deliberate choice: finish it in American brandy barrels for over six years and see what happens. What happened was Midnight.

The brandy barrels, previously used to age American brandy, impart layers of dark fruit and sweetness that you simply cannot get from a standard oak finish. Combined with the naturally smooth character of Canadian whisky and the glacier water finish that defines the Pendleton house style, Midnight is a genuinely unique spirit. The "Let'er Buck" ethos is alive in every bottle: bold, unapologetic, and built to impress.
