Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Toasted Applewood Staves, a real craft whiskey handmade in Washington, is now available.

After the whiskey becomes fully mature, staves of toasted applewood are added for a unique flavor profile.

“Every fall, we do a Harvest Release, and back in 2017, our release was our flagship Bourbon finished with Applewood Staves,” Woodinville Whiskey co-founder Brett Carlile said in a news release. “Of all our releases, this has been one of our most popular – so, this year we’re bringing it back Nationally.”
