Pendleton Whisky Military Edition 2026
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Annual Military tribute edition | Canadian whisky, cut with Mt. Hood glacier water — the Pendleton Whisky Military Edition 2026 is the brand's annual limited-edition tribute to US military service members and veterans, in commemorative packaging as part of the "We've Got Your 6" campaign — a portion of every bottle sold (up to $100,000) supports veterans' food security, housing, and mental health through the Bob Woodruff Foundation's Got Your 6 Network.
Inside is ultra-premium Pendleton Canadian whisky: distilled and oak-barrel aged in Canada, then cut to proof with glacier-fed spring water from Oregon's Mt. Hood and bottled in Hood River, Oregon. Brand tasting: warm oak, cinnamon, and rye with vanilla, honey, and butterscotch, leading to a full-bodied finish of spices, pecans, and walnuts. The same Pendleton character in a bottle that gives back — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
