Top Shelf Woodinville Rye Single Barrel Cask Strength Barrel 7930 750ml

This Top Shelf Woodinville Rye Single Barrel Cask Strength selection (barrel #7930) comes from Woodinville Whiskey Company in Washington State, which grows much of its own grain on family farms east of the Cascades before distilling and aging in Woodinville. Bottled from a single barrel at cask strength — undiluted, at whatever proof the barrel yielded — it will run noticeably hotter and more concentrated than the standard-proof Woodinville Rye. Expect bold rye spice, caramel, and oak with more intensity than the flagship release, since single-barrel cask-strength bottlings amplify whatever character that specific barrel developed. It's built for rye drinkers who want the rawest, most barrel-true version of Woodinville's rye program.

How to drink Woodinville Rye Single Barrel

Neat, with a splash of water to taste, is the right approach given the cask-strength proof. It also makes an unusually powerful Manhattan if you want that intensity carried into a cocktail.
