Woodinville Whiskey Co. - Port Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey
This unique expression from Woodinville starts with their award-winning straight bourbon whiskey, then takes a distinctive turn by being finished in hand-selected port wine casks. This additional aging process imparts a beautiful complexity, layering the bourbon's classic sweet and spicy notes with rich fruit and subtle tannic characteristics from the port. The result is a beautifully nuanced and remarkably smooth whiskey.
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Rich caramel and vanilla from the bourbon intertwine with sweet dark fruits like raisin and plum, subtle nutty undertones, and a hint of oak.
-
Flavor: Sweet and robust initially with notes of caramel, brown sugar, and toasted oak, quickly followed by luscious dark berry and dried fruit flavors from the port. A gentle spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) emerges mid-palate.
-
Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium-bodied, and inviting, with a pleasant warmth that spreads across the palate.
-
Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit, a touch of oak, and a mellow sweetness.
