November 12th at 7:00 pm

Our program for the evening will present the opportunity to take a break from politics, have a little fun, and learn something about a non-traditional career for women. Caitlin Bartlemay of Clear Creek Distillery will tell us about her personal journey to become a Master Distiller and about the workings of her distillery. She will have some recipes for us to try using the products of her work. Clear Creek brandies are available all over Oregon. (Georgia reports that she recently bought the Cherry Brandy in Grants Pass.) Here is a little information to “wet your whistle”.

CAITLIN BARTLEMAY MASTER DISTILLER

Caitlin joined Clear Creek Distillery in 2010 as a logistics coordinator and worked her way through the ranks to distiller. In 2014, Clear Creek was acquired by Hood River Distillers, joining the two oldest operating distilleries in Oregon and returning Hood River Distillers to its original roots of creating fruit brandies. Bartlemay was named Head Distiller in 2021 and now oversees the production of some twenty different distillates, including McCarthy’s Oregon Single Malt, the 1st American Single Malt; the award-winning Timberline Vodka; and the renowned Clear Creek brandies and eaux de vie.

Clear Creek Distillery was founded in 1985 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 freshwater springs of Mount Hood in the Oregon countryside, Clear Creek became one of the first craft distilleries in the United States. Along with its portfolio of fruit liqueurs and brandies, including its flagship Pear Brandy, Clear Creek ignited the American Single Malt revolution in the early 1990s with its launch of McCarthy’s® Oregon Single Malt.
