Woodinville™ Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Description

Aroma

Leading notes: Sweet and inviting. Look for prominent scents of vanilla bean, often described as rich or creamy. Caramel adds a deeper sweetness, sometimes with hints of brown sugar.

Secondary notes: Subtle hints of oak peek through the sweetness, suggesting the influence of the aging barrels. Some tasters report notes of baking spice, like cinnamon or nutmeg, adding a touch of complexity.

Palate

Initial taste: The smooth and creamy texture is often the first impression. Sweet flavors dominate here, with notes of toasted nuts (think almonds or pecans) adding a pleasant richness. Hints of spice, like clove or pepper, might emerge, adding a subtle warmth.

Mid-palate: Fruity notes can sometimes come forward here.  Some reviewers mention flavors like apricot, cherry, or even grape, adding a surprising twist.

Later palate: As you savor the whiskey, the influence of the oak barrel becomes more apparent.  Expect flavors of toasted wood and baking spices to become more pronounced.

Finish

Length: The finish is described as medium to long, meaning the flavors linger pleasantly on the tongue after swallowing.

Character: The sweetness from the caramel and vanilla tends to carry through in the finish, but it’s balanced by the oaky tannins and lingering spice, creating a satisfying and well-rounded experience.
