WOODINVILLE APPLEWOOD STAVES BOURBON

Washington St. - Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Toasted Applewood Staves is a highly sought-after, limited-edition release from the Washington State-based Woodinville Whiskey Co.. Originally introduced as a local distillery-only "Harvest Release" in 2017, its massive popularity led the brand to scale production and expand to periodic national retail rollouts. It is a 100-proof (50% ABV) spirit that balances traditional craft bourbon richness with a crisp, Pacific Northwest orchard twist.

• Nose: Bright aromas of baked apple and ripe red berries mingle with traditional vanilla bean, toasted oak, and dark chocolate shavings.
• Palate: Full and satin-textured. Rich caramel and caramelized sugar give way to a distinct orchard element reminiscent of apple cider or a hint of Calvados. The 22% rye content balances the sweetness with a soft rye baking spice.
• Finish: Sweet, warm, and lingering with a faint, cozy echo of smoky apple oak and cocoa.
