What Makes It Special
Woodinville's farm-to-bottle philosophy starts with grains grown exclusively for them on the Omlin family farm in Quincy, Washington. The bourbon is mashed, distilled, and barreled at their Woodinville distillery, then aged in private barrel houses where Central Washington's extreme temperature cycles promote optimal flavor extraction from the oak.
The applewood influence adds a unique dimension to this bourbon, creating a subtle smoke character that's softer and fruitier than traditional peat smoke. This makes it an approachable option for those curious about smoked whiskeys while offering bourbon enthusiasts something distinctly different from standard expressions.
