Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey Port Cask Finished

Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Woodinville’s flagship 5-year-old straight bourbon — made from a 72% corn, 22% rye, 7% malted barley mash bill — undergoes a 6-month finishing period in ruby port casks sourced from Portugal’s Douro Valley. The whiskey spends its initial aging in toasty, charred American oak, then absorbs fruit-forward richness and added texture from the port cask maturation.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Juicy berry, red fruit, caramel, vanilla, and seasoned oak
Palate: Candied cherry, dried plums, raspberry, dark chocolate, and toffee layered over the familiar caramel-vanilla bourbon core
Finish: Medium-length with lingering dark fruit, plum, and a touch of dry tannic oak
