As a PNW native, I'm a big supporter of local distilleries and Woodinville is one of our best. I think it's great they're branching out and doing single barrels and this is a truly exceptional release. Big burly spices mix with the pronounced sweetness of the mash bill to deliver a truly impressive sip. This is everything craft whiskey should be. Highly recommended.

My niece bought me a bottle of Woodinville's straight bourbon for Christmas a couple years ago. I really enjoyed it and made sure to buy this barrel pick when it came out. At 119 proof this blows away their regular releases and the nose is dreamy. I like that it has all those classic bourbon flavors but still offers something unique.
