Woodinville Straight Bourbon, 45%

Price: 45 Issue: Spring 2016 Reviewer: Lew Bryson Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Good bourbon nose—oak, corn, allspice, a little sweet citrus—but some solvent notes flitting around too. Feisty in the mouth; warming, punchy oak, softer pillow-thumps of corn, and some bitter rye notes. More rye comes out as it sits. Finish is long and warm. Good young bourbon; priced like a good older bourbon. Craft still presents some hard choices.
