Some bourbons are born in Kentucky. This one was built in Washington, from the ground up, literally. Woodinville sources its grain from a small, family run farm in the Cascade foothills and distills every drop in house. A bold move for a young distillery, but it paid off. Their Straight Bourbon went on to win “Best Straight Bourbon” in America, beating out brands with centuries of legacy. It’s proof that terroir matters, and that patience, not pedigree, defines greatness.

Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey 75cl
Brand: Woodinville | Category: Straight Bourbon | ABV: 45% | Origin: Washington, USA | Vol: 750ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Rich and toasty, like warm cornbread slathered in butter, dusted with brown sugar and a hint of cherry cola.
Palate: Silky and rounded, delivering notes of vanilla bean, cinnamon, spiced caramel, and toasted oak. There’s a rustic sweetness at the core, comforting, never cloying.
Finish: Medium-long with soft spice and a gentle fade of dried fruit and charred barrel, the kind of finish that sneaks back minutes later.

Production Details
Every ingredient is local, from the corn, rye, and malted barley grown just miles from the distillery, to the handmade barrels crafted on site and air-dried for 18 months. The whiskey is matured in Washington’s unique climate, which swings dramatically between hot and cold, intensifying its flavor evolution. It’s then aged for five years, allowing it to gain a surprising amount of maturity and nuance.

Perfect For
Pour it during a backyard barbecue or in a dim-lit jazz bar, it wears both denim and dinner jackets well. It’s great for those exploring craft bourbon, and even better for seasoned drinkers who think they’ve tasted it all.

Expert Notes
Awarded “Best Straight Bourbon” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Woodinville shook up the scene with a craft release that stood toe-to-toe with Kentucky giants. Critics praise its balance, texture, and ability to feel familiar yet fresh.

Customer Reviews
“Tastes like a bourbon made by people who actually care. Complex but super drinkable.”   Max Y.

Interesting Fact
Woodinville ages all its barrels in a traditional rickhouse... inside a converted airplane hangar. That dramatic Pacific Northwest weather plays a huge role in how the whiskey evolves.

Serving Suggestions
Neat is where it shines, but it also holds its own in a classic Old Fashioned. Add a few drops of water to soften the oak and bring out the cinnamon. Skip the mixer, this one’s built for sipping.

Distillery Background
Founded in 2010 by two childhood friends and mentored by the legendary David Pickerell (former Maker’s Mark Master Distiller), Woodinville set out to do bourbon differently, without shortcuts. Located just outside Seattle, the distillery blends craft, science, and a whole lot of grit to produce one of America’s most respected young whiskies.
