Oregon Spirit Wheated Rye Whiskey

Oregon Spirit Wheated Rye Whiskey is a distinctive offering from Oregon Spirit Distillers, located in Bend, Oregon. Established in 2009 by Brad and Kathy Irwin, this family-owned distillery is known for its commitment to crafting high-quality, small-batch spirits with a focus on local sourcing. Nearly all of the grains used in their whiskeys are sourced from Oregon farmers, reflecting the distillery’s dedication to supporting local agriculture and sustainability. This wheated rye whiskey stands out for its unique mashbill, which incorporates wheat alongside rye, creating a softer, more approachable profile compared to traditional rye whiskeys. Distilled and bottled entirely in-house, Oregon Spirit Wheated Rye Whiskey is a testament to the distillery’s grain-to-glass philosophy, ensuring complete control over the production process from start to finish. The whiskey is aged in Bend’s high desert climate, where the dramatic temperature swings between day and night influence the aging process, allowing the spirit to interact more dynamically with the barrel. This results in a whiskey that showcases the unique characteristics of its environment.
