WOODINVILLE 10YR 50% 750ML STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

Woodinville’s oldest whiskey to date is the final chapter in the limited series that began with the acclaimed 8 and 9 Year releases. This is not simply an older version of the standard bourbon. Founders Brett Carlile and Orlin Sorensen developed a distinctive 55% corn, 35% rye, and 10% malted barley mash bill specifically for an ambitious barrel experiment conducted with Independent Stave Company. The custom barrels were built from staves seasoned outdoors for 24 months, then heavily toasted and only lightly charred, an unusual treatment designed to maximize sweetness, vanilla, toasted nut, spice, and mature oak character. After a full decade in Woodinville’s barrelhouses in the high desert of Quincy, Washington, the whiskey has developed remarkable depth while retaining the lively rye spice at the heart of the recipe. Bottled at a perfectly judged 100 proof, it offers layers of warm vanilla, toasted almond, freshly baked bread, caramel, buttery toffee, clove, dried fruit, polished leather, and gentle campfire smoke. The finish is long and beautifully composed, balancing warm baking spice and soft oak tannin against lingering vanilla sweetness. Already awarded Double Platinum at the ASCOT Awards and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this is a fitting culmination of more than a decade of experimentation and patience.
