Clear Creek Distillery is one of America's most important and pioneering craft spirits producers — the Oregon distillery that proved the Pacific Northwest could rival Europe's finest fruit brandy traditions before most Americans even knew what craft distilling was. Founded in 1985 by Stephen McCarthy with a vision to use the bountiful fruits of the Pacific Northwest to create fruit-based spirits that rivaled the best of their European counterparts, using old-world techniques and sourcing ingredients from the local orchards and fresh water springs of Mount Hood, Clear Creek became one of the first craft distilleries in the United States. The range is extraordinary in its depth and diversity — from the flagship Pear Brandy that takes 20 pounds of Hood River Valley Bartlett pears per bottle and earned Double Gold at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition, to the 8 Year Apple Brandy that rivals great Calvados, the award-winning Blue Plum Slivovitz called the American standard by competition judges, and the unforgettable Douglas Fir Eau de Vie that took ten years to perfect and puts Oregon's state tree in a bottle. The liqueur lineup covers Oregon's most beloved local fruits — Marionberry, Loganberry, Raspberry, Cranberry, Cherry, Cassis, and Pear — each macerated in Clear Creek's house brandy with no artificial colors or flavors. This is Pacific Northwest terroir in its purest liquid form. Browse our full Clear Creek collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.
