Barlow Trail Big Bottom Bourbon Whiskey

Barlow Trail Big Bottom Bourbon Whiskey is a small-batch expression produced by Big Bottom Distilling, an Oregon-based craft distillery known for sourcing quality whiskey and finishing it with unique regional character. Named after the historic Barlow Trail—a key passage for pioneers traveling the Oregon Trail—this bourbon pays homage to rugged exploration while delivering an approachable, flavorful pour.

Crafted from a traditional mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, this bourbon is aged in new American oak barrels, where it develops warmth and depth. In the glass, it shows a rich golden-amber hue. The aroma brings notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, while the palate unfolds with flavors of honey, baking spice, and a touch of pepper from the rye grain. The finish is smooth, slightly sweet, and lingering, making it a balanced whiskey suitable for sipping or mixing.

Barlow Trail Bourbon reflects Big Bottom’s philosophy of blending tradition with craft. It is versatile enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks, yet also works well in cocktails such as Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, or whiskey sours. With its nod to Oregon’s history and its approachable flavor profile, it has become a regional favorite for both casual drinkers and bourbon enthusiasts.
