Enjoying some bourbon tonight. [View all]

Our local distillery, Woodinville, just released a variation on their flagship product. It’s their signature bourbon, only aged in port casks, instead of charred oak casks.

I poured some into a tumbler over chilled whiskey stones. It’s good. Not substantially different from the regular, but it has some subtle red wine notes. (The port, obviously.)

Don’t know if I’ll get a second bottle when this one is done. The original has some wonderful sweet, caramel notes to it that are irresistible.

But I’m definitely not getting Woodinville’s rye whiskey again. Rye is just too rough for my palate. Good for a tough, strong New York Sour, but not much else.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend…

🥃

For me when it comes to "hard" liquor it's all about the smooth. Smooth in the mouth and smooth down the throat. mitch96 Oct 2024 #20
