Woodinville Harvest Release Sauternes Cask Finished, 52.5%

Price: 70 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

On the nose, a verifiable fruit bomb: raisin, apricot, lemon-coated apple, citrus oil, and fresh cherries galore. The palate is balanced, and the benefits of a sauternes cask finish are clear, as vanilla panna cotta, candied nuts, cinnamon stick, and tobacco ash coat the mouth. The finish is a splendid symphony of baking spice, dark red fruit, and barrel char, making for a dark, delicious whiskey. (Release date: 10/24)
