PORTLAND, Ore. — It's an exciting time for some Oregon spirit makers. Three companies came out with new products in the past few weeks, just in time for sunny, warmer weather and a drink out on the porch!

It's brand new from Hood River Distillers, the Northwest's largest and oldest distiller. They make dozens of different kinds of alcohol and flavors. Timberline Vodka is special because it's made from a blend of grain alcohol, Northwest apples and glacier-fed spring water off Mt. Hood. It's been purified 46 times, and with that slight hint of those famous Gorge apples, it's smooth.
