Woodinville Whiskey Co.'s Straight Bourbon Whiskey Aged 8 Years is a limited edition release that showcases the distillery's dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. This bourbon is crafted from a unique mash bill of 55% corn, 35% rye, and 10% malted barley, distinguishing it from their flagship bourbon's traditional 72% corn, 22% rye, and 6% malted barley composition.


The grains are mashed and distilled at Woodinville's distillery in Washington State. The spirit is then aged for eight years in custom barrels made from 24-month open-air seasoned staves that are heavily toasted and lightly charred. This meticulous barrel preparation, combined with the extreme temperature variations of Central Washington, enhances the extraction of natural flavors from the oak, imparting a deep and rich complexity to the bourbon.

About Woodinville Whiskey

Woodinville Whiskey Co., founded in 2010 by lifelong friends Orlin Sorensen and Brett Carlile, is a craft distillery located in Woodinville, Washington. Their mission is to produce exceptional American whiskey by combining traditional methods with the unique terroir of the Pacific Northwest.


The distillery sources all its grains—corn, rye, and malted barley—from the Omlin Family Farm in Quincy, Washington, ensuring high-quality, locally grown ingredients. These grains are mashed and distilled at their Woodinville facility, then transported across the Cascade Mountains for aging in their barrel houses.


The region's extreme temperature variations enhance the extraction of natural flavors from the oak barrels, contributing to the whiskey's distinctive character.
