Woodinville Toasted Applewood Staves Finished Bourbon Gets A Nationwide Launch

Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Toasted Applewood Staves, a craft whiskey handmade in Washington, is now available nationwide.

“Every fall, we do a Harvest Release, and back in 2017, our release was our flagship Bourbon finished with Applewood Staves,” said Woodinville Whiskey co-founder, Brett Carlile, in a prepared statement. “Of all our releases, this has been one of our most popular – so, this year we’re bringing it back nationally.”

Official tasting notes for this whiskey indicate that, “after the whiskey was fully mature, staves of toasted applewood were added. The finishing process adds depth and richness with aromas of apple and berry on the nose and palate on top of the traditional bourbon notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate and vanilla bean with a sweet lingering finish.”

Woodinville Whiskey Company, for those unfamiliar with it, is one of the older American craft whiskey distilleries out there. Founded by Carlile and Orlin Sorensen, under the mentorship of industry icon, the late David Pickerell, is creates its whiskeys from 100% locally sourced grains from the Omlin Family Farm in Quincy, Washington.

In 2017 Woodinville joined Moët Hennessy, the wine and spirits division of LVMH. The distillery maintains a distilling operation and tasting room open to the public in Woodinville, Washington.
