A friend of mine is GASing for a nice passive alder/rosewood US JO, please let me know if you'd know about anything.
Beautiful neck! Great BEM , looks roasted? I like the wear on the body also - great bass! Also the refreshment tucked behind the cab
Pendleton, aye? I hadn’t noticed that. I need to start bringing my own bottle to shows. Would sure beat the heck out of buckets of Budweiser.
Yup. My relic’d 44-51m with roasted maple. Not my Pendleton though, there was no shortage of libations.
I have to admit I had never heard of this so a quick Google search gave me my smile of the day:
Nose: Extremely sweet and dominated by caramel and burnt marshmallow. There’s a sharp, bottom-shelf vodka element to the aroma, like toasted wood floating in solvent. More interesting notes poke through, like a faint hint of rye bread crust, but the aroma is overpowered by artificial notes suggesting a mixture of pennies and Werther’s Originals.
Palate: Also very sweet and driven by notes of caramel, confectionery, and low calorie sweetener. The caramel is pretty artificial tasting, much more reminiscent of a Yankee Candle than burnt sugar. The mid palate offers a bit of rye spice but without much richness or dimension, and quickly peters out into a short, slightly warming finish.
Conclusion:
Sweet, flat, and thin-bodied, Pendleton Whisky tastes a lot like vodka mixed with grocery store caramel sauce. A few tantalizing rye notes hint at something interesting, but overall this spirit reminds me of nothing more than diet cream soda. You might like Pendleton if you find most whiskies too rough or too dry, but I didn’t find much to enjoy about it.
Now I have to try it...

It's pretty good stuff!
I'm a whisky snob...I admit it...
Our very own John J was clearing out his PC and entrusted me with the old LOG photos....
As a trip down memory lane, I will post a few periodically.
Here are a few from the October 2010 GTG at Lakland:
You can see a couple of "NEW" LOG basses on the rack to the left...
Early 55-07....yummmm
A bunch of old timers....
Aaron and Mr. Matt both kinda disappeared lately...
and I wasn't turning grey yet!!!!

Need to have dinner again....
So for us Chicago area Lakland lovers, is this year technically the 25th anniversary of Lakland (xx-94), or is 2020? Figured if it was this year, they’d be making some noise about it.
That MAY have been the most recent GTG at the shop. It certainly has been a while.
My SN 11 was built in ‘95. So they must have started producing late in ‘94, or had very low numbers that first year.
