History,
The story of Woodinville doesn’t begin with a 100-year-old recipe or generations of family distillers. It begins with two best friends and a dream.
The dream is to make the greatest craft whiskey in the world by bringing the time-honored traditions of bourbon production into a craft environment — using the highest quality locally grown grains, the best barrels and coopers in the world, the most technologically advanced distilling equipment, and the mentorship of an industry icon, David Pickerell, former Master Distiller for Maker’s Mark.
And while the story is still unfolding, after being awarded “Craft Whiskey of the Year” and “Craft Rye Whiskey of the Year” two years in a row by the American Distilling Institute, things are headed in the right direction.
ABV: 57.50% ABV
Age: 5 Years
State of Distillation: Washington State, USA (Woodinville)
Bottling State: Washington State, USA (Woodinville)
Tasting Notes,
Nose: a sweet, honey forward, baking spice machine that's loaded with orange peel, sweet butterscotch, a touch of pound cake, confectioners, a zip of pepper and that fruity sweetness I often find in Russell's Rye.
Palate: it's a subtler combination of sweetness, light and pleasant tannin, and lovely fruits. Orange peel, brown sugar, caramels and a long, decadent finish see this rare find out. There's no herbal mintiness, dill or vinegar notes, it's all maple and lovely orange and clove on its way out of town.

Amazing!
Picked up a bottle of this bad boy last weekend and it is one of the absolute best cask strength rye whiskies I've ever had. Big rye spice but drinks well below it's 115 proof. Dangerously delicious.
