Crater Lake Spirits Releases New 5-Year American Whiskey Collaboration With Deschutes Brewery
Bendistillery’s Crater Lake Spirits out of Oregon recently announced a new release of their limited Black Butte Whiskey, a 5-year American whiskey made in collaboration with Deschutes Brewery.
The Bend-based businesses first teamed up in 2016 for the release of a 3-year version of this aged whiskey, and returned late last year with a new 5-year version. The American malt whiskey is distilled from the wash of Deschutes’ Black Butte Porter with a selection of speciality malts. The liquid is then double-distilled and aged for five years in new #4 char American Oak barrels. According to the notes from Crater Lake Spirits, the resulting spirit is a “balanced, yet complex whiskey that retains the malty, chocolatey notes of Black Butte Porter and finishes with a soft, nearly sweet, character.”
