About Lewis and Clark
Lewis and Clark is a blended bourbon whiskey built around four-year-old straight bourbon whiskey distilled in Kentucky, then finished with Oregon Oak right here in the Pacific Northwest. That Northwest oak finish is what gives it a regional signature, marrying the classic Kentucky bourbon backbone with a touch of local character. For an Eastside crowd, there is something fitting about a Kentucky bourbon that gets its final polish from Oregon wood, a nod to the Pacific Northwest in your glass. It is the kind of approachable, honest pour that earns a regular spot on a neighborhood bar.
Tasting Notes
Bourbon built on Kentucky straight whiskey tends to lead with sweet caramel and vanilla from the charred barrel, and a finish in Oregon Oak adds an extra layer of woody warmth and gentle spice. The result is approachable and rounded, an easygoing sipper that is just as comfortable neat as it is in a cocktail. It is friendly enough for newcomers and satisfying enough for everyday bourbon drinkers.
What to Pair It With
This is a versatile sipping and mixing bourbon. Enjoy it neat, on a large cube, or in an Old Fashioned. From the Sparrow dinner menu it pairs happily with the American Wagyu steaks or the Truffle Deviled Eggs. Catch it during our daily happy hour from 3 to 5 PM, when well drinks are $3 off.
