Woodinville Whiskey Expands Single Barrel Program Nationwide
Woodinville Whiskey is set to launch its single-barrel bourbon and rye nationwide for the first time, expanding its offerings beyond the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 2010 by Brett Carlile and Orlin Sorensen, the distillery, now owned by Moët Hennessy since 2017, sources grains from the Omlin family in Woodinville, Washington. The new releases include a Single Barrel Straight Bourbon and a Single Barrel 100% Rye, both aged for seven years and bottled at cask strength, with a suggested retail price of $70. Tasting notes highlight sweet vanilla and oak for the bourbon, while the rye features dried fruit and spice.
