Woodinville Whiskey


I love a good Rye but Woodinville Whiskey Rye is truly an artisan Rye.  The taste of cinnamon and pepper with notes of vanilla, make this Rye exceptional.  I truly enjoyed my tasting.

The Whiskey is very good a blend of corn, wheat and rye in the mash bill; it adds significant depth to this bourbon, and the Rye has a mash bill of 100% rye. 


Now apparently the Woodinville Whiskey Company has gotten into making Vodka, but I traded my taste of Vodka for an extra helping of Rye.  I am a purist with Vodka, so I passed on tasting it; probably should have tried the vodka. 

For those of you who have a sweet tooth, Woodinville Whiskey has something truly amazing for you: real Maple syrup aged in used whiskeybarrels.  This adds some outstanding flavors to their maple syrup. We have the sweet of maple syrup touched with vanilla, cinnamon, and that smoky taste of a great whiskey.  Goes great over vanilla ice cream!  When you heat this syrup, be prepared to have the flavors of that excellent Woodinville Whiskey added to your breakfast; much more pronounced when heated. They also do barrel aged Honey!


In short, Woodinville Whiskey is a stop well worth making if you are anywhere near Woodinville, Washington. Deciding on the designated driver can be tough. Woodinville also has several award-winning wineries.
