ANGELA
Ultra Mega Supreme Leader
After many years of drinking, Angela thought the natural next step was to open a liquor store, which is super easy to do in the State of Oregon! She is very persnickety. She also knows 90% of Bend and may or may not be losing her mind. Angela loves all things outdoors, especially hiking and backpacking. Check out the photos in the store that have all come from her adventures!
Cocktail: Sazerac
Bottle: Bib and Tucker Whiskey
Phrase: "WTH?"
JUSTIN "WILD TURKEY"
Supreme Leader
Justin is a mysterious guy who once owned cows. He is a student of all things liquor and is nearly an expert in everything but cognac, so don't ask him about that. He is a super solid guy, with a heart of gold, but can be as stubborn as one of those bulls he once owned. He is also passionate about pointing out Angela's typos. Justin likes booze and harassing the staff.
Cocktail: Piña Colada
Bottle: George T. Stagg (we hope)
Phrase: "It'll be alright."
OLIVER
Organizational Guru, Assistant Supreme Leader
Oliver is a super sweet guy and an amazing, hard worker that we called Oscar for the first month since we couldn’t remember Oliver. Now occasionally known as O-O (ya know, for Oliver/Oscar), we have gotten much better about remembering his actual name. Oliver bright guy and a master stocker. If you change your mind about what you want, and try to put a bottle back while he is working, you might find it has already been stocked! Oliver loves whiskey and is a trivia aficionado. He is also passionate about music and organizing all things, complete with diagrams.
Cocktail: Old Fashoioned
Bottle: Woodford Reserve
Phrase: "Pitter Patter, Let's get at 'er' "
Leah
She gave up the glamor of cleaning bedpans to sling liquor. Even though she used to clean shit, she still won't take yours. She is also very artistic, has a quirky style, and is hardworking. She loves thrifting and music shows. Her diverse palate will help guide you to the perfect cocktail for your event.
Cocktail: Last Word
Bottle:Barrell Seagrass Rye
NILS
Liquor Transportation Specialist and Peat Expert
Nils is a solid guy and a great delivery driver with the unfortunate allergy to onions and garlic. This makes it really hard for his boss to feed him! With his fair skin, loathing of morning shifts, and inability to process garlic, we aren't completely sure he isn't a vampire. But his love and knowledge of smoky whiskey made us take a chance on this possible blood sucker. He loves rap music and extra jumbo clothing.
Cocktail: Whiskey Highball
Bottle: Lagavulin Offerman Edition
DUKE
Liquor Transportation Specialist II and Side Hustle Beekeeper
Don't let Duke's sometimes quiet demeanor fool you, his quick wit will slay you! Thankfully, he is much easier to feed than Nils. Duke is the noob of the group, but has been on Trailhead staff for over a year! When not slinging liquor, he helps his sis out at Broadus Bees. He enjoys playing the perfect game of golf, the Chicago Cubs and video games.
Cocktail: Absconded French Girlfriend
Bottle: Lagavulin 16
Although we take our jobs seriously (we know our stuff), we never take ourselves seriously. So if you hear laughter and ribbing, it's all in good fun because the liquor business IS fun. AND we have genuine affection for each other. We are a true team!
