This Moscatel Finished Bourbon begins with Woodinville's flagship straight bourbon which is made with 100% locally-sourced grains. To finish its maturation, it is placed into 10 year-old 200-gallon Moscatel de Setúbal barrels (a rare fortified wine from Portugal). Woodinville previously released a limited edition version of this bottling in fall 2021 as a distillery-only 2021 Harvest Release. This expression will be released as a limited edition bottling to 23 markets in the US as of September 2022. (SRP $99.99)

Nose - very dark red fruit forward. cherry pie, red grapes, youthful graininess Taste - bitter grape skins, raisin and a hint of tobacco Finish-long finish, pepper, tea and more berry notes This is a weird one. The moscatel finish is doing a lot of the lifting and the whiskey doesn’t shine through. I get alot of youthful notes that can’t be hidden by the finish. Did not live up to the hype.
Sadly, a very ‘meh’ finished whiskey. Heard a lot of hype about this one, so was excited to see it pop up at a local store. $100 that could have been better used for something better. I did enjoy the cask strength (59.3%) 100% Rye store pick. That bottle was worth the $65 price tag.
Hot, not real flavorful. Wouldn't order again.
