Woodinville Finished in Port Cask Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
DescriptionWoodinville's Port Cask Finish takes their already excellent bourbon and adds layers of complexity through finishing in Portuguese port wine barrels. This expression showcases how thoughtful cask finishing can enhance rather than mask quality bourbon. The result is a whiskey that marries Pacific Northwest craftsmanship with Old World wine influence. The nose presents an enticing blend of bourbon sweetness and port richness—caramel and vanilla meet dark berries, fig preserves, and subtle wine tannins.
What makes this port finish special is the perfect marriage between Woodinville's bourbon and the wine influence—on the palate, rich flavors of butterscotch and honey are enhanced by notes of blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and a subtle nuttiness from the port. The finishing process has added complexity while maintaining the bourbon's essential character, creating layers of flavor that unfold with each sip.
The finish is exceptionally long and complex, with alternating notes of toffee, dark fruits, gentle spices, and a subtle wine-like dryness that adds sophistication. This is bourbon for those who appreciate innovation rooted in quality—the port finishing enhances an already excellent bourbon rather than trying to hide flaws. Woodinville Port Cask proves that American craft distillers can compete with anyone when it comes to creative finishing techniques.
