Bull Run Distilling Company's Temperance Trader line was born out of the desire to bring "other" amazing spirits to market -- spirits that we didn't craft, but which we were fortunate enough to find. In the case of Temperance Trader Straight Bourbon Whiskey it was love at first sip. In fact, we loved this whiskey so much we acquired all we could. While our Temperance Trader Bourbon was conceived in Bourbon Country, it was born in God's Country. That makes Temperance Trader Bourbon an Oregon original.
About Bull Run Distilling Company: Bull Run Distilling Company (BRD) was founded by acclaimed Portland distiller, Lee Medoff, and business partner Patrick Bernards in the spring of 2010. What began as a "what if" conversation over cocktails a few years ago evolved into a full-on crusade in late 2009. Hundreds of hours, a few business plans and a couple of emptied bank accounts later Bull Run Distilling Company became a reality.

Lee Medoff is the mastermind behind Bull Run Distilling Company. It was his 13 years of distilling experience, his knowledge of what is a very complex industry and his passion for dark, craft spirits that enabled the idea of BRD to become reality. From the beginning, Lee spoke of creating a distillery that excelled in every aspect of the business. As Lee is a tireless perfectionist and pioneer you can be sure that our company and its products will meet and exceed your greatest expectations.

Patrick Bernards is the sales and marketing piece of the equation, or as he likes to call himself, the Chief Enthusiast. For Patrick, Bull Run Distilling Company represented the opportunity to finally take his more than 20 years of "corporate America" business experience and put it to work doing something he is truly passionate about; building a business that will produce some of the finest craft spirits in the world. Prior to launching Bull Run Distilling Company with Lee, Patrick had worked for Fortune 500 companies as well as virtually unknown start ups. He's an entrepreneur at heart so he's right at home blazing new trails on the craft spirits frontier.
