Woodinville Straight Rye Whiskey
Woodinville Straight Rye Whiskey is a 750mL, 100% rye whiskey bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), made from rye grown exclusively for Woodinville on the Omlin family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grain is mashed and distilled in Woodinville, then the barrels cross the Cascade Mountains to age in Central Washington barrel houses, where the region's extreme temperature swings pull flavour deep out of heavily charred new oak. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

One Farm, One Grain, Two Climates
Woodinville's rye never leaves the state's grain-to-glass loop: Omlin family rye from Quincy, distillation in Woodinville, and ageing back on the dry, hot-and-cold eastern side of the Cascades — a wider temperature cycle than Kentucky's, in barrels whose staves were seasoned outdoors for 18 months before a deep toast and heavy char. Brand copy credits the rye with a 2017 American Distilling Institute Double Gold for Best Rye Whiskey. Explore the distillery on the Woodinville vendor page, or browse our rye whiskey collection.
