Process

Trail's End is aged in new charred white oak barrels for eight years or ten years in Kentucky.[1] According to their website, it travels from Kentucky to Oregon, following the path similar to the one that Lewis and Clark once blazed. It is made with a traditional mash bill of corn, malted barley and approximately 10% rye. Once in Oregon, it is steeped with Oregon oak, then perfected with glacier-fed spring water from Mount Hood and bottled at 90 proof. Trail's End is non-chill filtered.[2]
