This Woodinville single barrel bourbon was hand-selected as a Top Shelf store pick from barrel 6194 and bottled at cask strength, 115.6 proof (57.78% ABV). Each single barrel yields a limited number of bottles, so every pick has its own character.
Woodinville's bourbon is made from a mash bill of 72% corn, 22% rye and 6% malted barley, with all of its grain grown exclusively for the distillery on the Omlin family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grain is mashed and distilled at Woodinville, then the new make is aged in new charred oak barrels in Quincy, where big seasonal temperature swings accelerate maturation.
Bottled straight from the barrel with no water added, the bourbon delivers rich caramel and vanilla from the char, balanced by the gentle spice of the rye.
Woodinville's single barrel cask-strength program was long available only at the distillery and has become a favourite for store picks.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
