Day 28 of Bourbon Heritage Month
This bottle was a gift from my dad as he drove back from a vacation. When he gifted me this bourbon I didn’t know much about Woodinville Whiskey. Fast forward a few years I know all about Woodinville Whiskey and excited to re-examine this Woodinville Whiskey Private Select from Jackson Bottle Shoppe.
Just the facts: Woodinville Whiskey Private Select
- Style: Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- Mashbill:
- Proof: 121.98
- Price: This was a gift, not sure of the price!
Jake’s tasting notes: Woodinville Whiskey Private Select
Nose: brown sugar, honey, lemon are abundant and set up this pour to smell a lot like a hot toddy.
Palate: For 121.98 it doesn’t drink that hot on the palate. It is full of almond butter and honey meet the palate up front. On the second sip there is a hint of lemon from nose that shows up, berry compote and allspice
Finish: The first sip warms you but the second pour drinks more subtly and finishes with sweet almond butter notes
Closing thoughts
I highly enjoyed this private select from Woodinville! I now need to explore more from Woodinville Whiskey. Have your tried their pours?
