PENDLETON? You wont have to win a calf roping to get a special Pendleton Whisky belt buckle. In time for the holidays, Hood River Distillers is packaging the 2011 belt buckle on select 1.75-liter bottles of the Canadian-blended whisky. Montana Silversmiths craft the black oval buckles, stamped with Let Er Buck and the red Round-Up bucking horse. Pendleton Whisky is distilled in Canada and finished with spring water from Mount Hood in Hood River.
