Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey Port Cask Finished
Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750‚ÄØmL
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.
