woodinville private select single barrel bourbon s1b50

The Woodinville story began with two best friends and a dream. They have been tirelessly working to create 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. The result is something exceptional and award-winning. And their single barrels expand the depth of this work. This specific barrel selected exclusively for ReserveBar proves this is a one-of-a-kind expression. Bottled at cask strength, this whiskey offers a bold, robust flavor profile with the unique characteristics of an individual barrel. From Lee Diaz, Topflight Panel Member: Did you know that some of the best bourbon made outside Kentucky comes from Central Washington? Using local grains, a distillation process that includes a 1,320-gallon handmade pot still and a 16-plate bubble-cap "Superaromator," topped off with an aging process that sees extreme summer highs and snowy lows, the end results is a solid pour from the first to last drop. Ours is a 114.4-proof single barrel selection with a nose of cherry, brown sugar, and a hint of toasted malt. The palate hints of caramel, baking spices, vanilla cake, and dark chocolate. The finish lingers with cacao, oak, and honey. If Woodinville is new to you, this will be a welcomed addition to your collection. If you're familiar with this Washington-based distillery, this single barrel release will deepen your love for this growing bourbon tradition.
