Founded in 1996 in Bend, Oregon, Bendistillery has long been a pioneer in American craft distilling. As the original home of Crater Lake Spirits, we helped shape what a modern distillery could look like—grounded in quality, creativity, and community.

Today, as Crater Lake Spirits moves into new ownership, Bendistillery continues to produce the spirits we’ve always been proud of, with a renewed focus on our whiskey program, including Black Butte Whiskey and Estate Rye Whiskey.

While the brand evolves, the craft remains the same—made here in Bend, by the people who have been part of it from the beginning.
