Clear Creek Distillery was the pioneer craft distiller in the US, defining the market for premium spirits decades ago.  At that time, Hood River Distillers was known for its cheap, mass-appeal Vodka, which by definition can have no flavor or aroma.  A match made in heaven?  Well, we thought so.  Over time, HRD has embraced the mission of its founders, who started the first Oregon distillery after prohibition in 1934.  They want to produce the best spirits in the world.  The people who brought you Pendleton Whiskey are now working on Pear-in-the-bottle Brandy and Oregon single malts.
