Woodinville Straight 100% Rye Whiskey is a quintessential embodiment of the Pacific Northwest's spirit, crafted with a meticulous approach that pays homage to traditional distilling methods. Sourced exclusively from the Omlin family farm in Quincy, Washington, this whiskey begins its journey with pure, locally-grown rye. After mashing and distilling, the spirit embarks on a scenic voyage over the Cascade Mountains to private barrel houses, where it ages gracefully amidst Central Washington's extreme temperature fluctuations, drawing out the rich flavors from the oak barrels. The meticulous seasoning of the barrel wood in nature's elements for eighteen months softens the tannins, resulting in a whiskey that is not just a drink, but an experience.
The resulting whiskey boasts a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas, enticing the palate with notes of cinnamon, clove, and fruit leather. The initial sip reveals a harmonious balance of caramel and honey, interlaced with subtle wood spice that dances on the tongue. With an alcohol content of 45%, this rye whiskey strikes a commendable equilibrium between boldness and approachability, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned connoisseurs and casual sippers alike. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation of a cocktail, Woodinville Straight Rye Whiskey promises a memorable tasting journey that leaves a lasting impression.
