Home to some of the best wine makers around, Wine Country earned its name. But there's more beyond the vine...

Join us and the whole Wine Country Whiskey Trail crew for the Drink Beyond the Vine Festival on Sunday, May 31st. We're heading to Root & Rye Hop Farm and Brewery in Carlton from 1 PM to 6 PM, where you can expect whiskey and beer, a keepsake festival glass, and a chance to win a curated gift basket. Why not make a weekend of it? Our hospitality partner, The Dundee Hotel, has you covered. Use code WHSKYTRL! for 10% off your stay. Grab your tickets at the link in the comments. Cheers! 🥃

We wish we could donate to every nonprofit and fundraising event that comes our way. Supporting our community, especially for a great cause, means a lot to us. Yamhill Carlton Together Cares is exactly that. Since 1998, YCTC has been a grassroots effort serving youth and families in the Yamhill and Carlton area, focused on "providing youth with useful roles in the community, safe and healthy activities to participate in, and good role models."

We were happy to donate spirits for their annual Flavors event, and the Wandering Wildflowers team certainly did something special with them. A Lavender Tom Collins made with our Slabtown Barrel Reserve Gin and a Bourbon Peach Sweet Tea featuring our Straight Bourbon. Obviously, both were a hit.

Whether you'd like to volunteer, donate, or simply learn more about what YCTC does for our community, head to their website. Cheers! 🥃

The 10th annual Carlton Crawl is happening tomorrow, Saturday, March 14th, and Main Street is going full St. Patrick's Day mode with festive food, drinks, and deals all over town. We'll be sampling our new Stickmen Brewing collaboration bottle release and pouring our "Golden Clover" cocktail. You can get it on its own or as part of a tasting flight. Families can join in on the festivities as well. There will be a free scavenger hunt at Ladd Park from noon to 2 pm. First 75 completed cards get a prize. Head over to Carlton Business Association for details. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, this is it. Cheers! 🥃☘️

Our third collaboration with Stickmen Brewing is finally here: Vermouth and Nocino Finished Bourbon! We blended 75% Chinato Vermouth barrel finished bourbon with 25% Nocino barrel finished bourbon. The Chinato barrel came from Cana's Feast Winery in Carlton, and the Nocino barrel from Stone Barn Brandyworks. Both bourbons aged 7 to 8 years before spending around four years finishing in their respective barrels. Inspired by the Paper Plane cocktail, just add Aperol and lemon juice for this one to take flight.

Starting tomorrow, you can taste and purchase at both of our tasting rooms. If you're visiting Stickmen McMinnville, you can also grab a purchase ticket and pick it up at either of our locations. More Stickmen locations to follow. Cheers! 🥃

The best collaborations start with "what if?" That's been our approach with Seelbachs.com since 2018. Blake and the team have always had an eye for bottles that stand out, the kind of expressions that make you curious. That's what makes them perfect partners for our Custom Barrel Program.

This 8 Year Bourbon Pinot Noir Brandy Finish is one of those selections. At 114.5 proof, Seelbach's says it opens "like a balanced Old Fashioned" before moving into cherry cobbler, cranberry, and "waves of sweet red fruits" on the finish. Bright, layered, and worth seeking out.

Whether you're looking for something unique to share or adding a centerpiece to your shelf, you can bring it to your home bar, no matter where you are, thanks to Seelbach's. Link in the comments. Cheers! 🥃

Our Pacific Rum was one of the first spirits to ever flow through our stills. Made from 100% Hawaiian cane sugar and aged in ex-bourbon barrels, it picks up a rich chocolate tone that balances its natural spice. This award-winning rum pairs beautifully with citrus, whether you're making a daiquiri or keeping it simple with lime.

Touch of Mexico carries Bull Run staples like our Straight Bourbon and Pinot Finish, but they also stock more unique bottlings like our Pacific Rum. In the past, they've even carried our Madeira Finished Single Malt and single barrel picks. For those outside Oregon, shop Touch of Mexico and bring Bull Run to your home bar, no matter where you are. Link in the comments. Cheers! 🥃
