Woodinville 9 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey
Woodinville 9 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is a 100-proof (50% ABV), 750mL straight bourbon — aged nine years in the distillery's Quincy, Washington barrelhouses, distilled from a high-rye mash bill of 55% corn, 35% rye, 10% malted barley, and bottled for Woodinville's 15th Anniversary Harvest Release — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Woodinville Whiskey Co. was founded in 2010 by Orlin Sorensen and Brett Carlile with mentorship from whiskey legend David Pickerell — a grain-to-glass operation in Washington's wine country. The 9 Year Old is the most mature bourbon the distillery has ever released, and it's built on Woodinville's barrel obsession: while the industry standard is kiln-dried wood with a heavy char, Woodinville uses 24-month open-air seasoned staves from Independent Stave Co., heavily toasted and lightly charred — a costly, labor-intensive cooperage spec that extracts deeper caramel, vanilla, and almond character. The spirit then rests nine years east of the Cascade Mountains in Quincy, where dramatic seasonal temperature swings drive interaction between whiskey and wood. First offered as the first 500 bottles at the distillery's August 2025 Harvest Release (500 cases total, each bottle individually numbered), it is a one-time release — once it's gone, it's gone.
Tasting notes (press and trade consensus): nose of dark caramel, vanilla custard, cherry candy, dried apricots and peaches, dry oak, Demerara sugar, and a whisper of mesquite smoke; a palate of mild simple-syrup sweetness, dry oak, dark berries, toffee, molasses, honey, and rye spice; a long, increasingly dry finish of white pepper, dry wood, mild char, and dried fruit.
Why buy: Woodinville's oldest release ever — and its only 9-year-old — in a 500-case numbered run. The high-rye mash and heavy-toast barrels give it spice and structure most Kentucky bourbons don't attempt.
