Way back, before even our first spirits flowed from our stills, we decided to track down barrels of whiskey and set ourselves up as Merchant Bottlers. This was partially self-serving so we could justify visiting distilleries and do extensive barrel sampling. Out of our travels came Bull Run Straight Bourbon Whiskey which started as a small one-off project but quickly became the anchor of our Merchant Bottling Expressions. ### Product Description Lee Medoff started House Spirits Distillery in 2004, where he helped create several popular craft spirit brands of which his namesake Medoyeff Vodka and Aviation Gin are the most successful. He was one of the founding members and first president of the Oregon Distillers Guild, America’s first craft distillers guild. In 2010, with his sights set on making a pure malt Oregon Whiskey, he started Bull Run Distillery. It is here that he focuses on creating dark, aged spirits, from rum made with Hawaiian cane sugar to many expressions of whiskey. Tasting Notes Soft, warm, vanilla notes, expanding to a spicy mid-palate with a finish that’s all silk and honey.
