Woodinville Straight Rye is a Washington-made rye whiskey poured at Grappa in Queen Anne, Seattle, and a proud nod to whiskey crafted right here in our home state. Grain-to-glass and rich with regional character, it is a refined pour with a real sense of place.
About the Distillery
Woodinville Whiskey Co. is based in Woodinville, Washington, just northeast of Seattle, and built its reputation on a true grain-to-glass philosophy. The grain is grown on a single family farm in Quincy, Washington, then milled, fermented and distilled before being aged in private barrel houses across the Cascades. Washington’s dramatic seasonal temperature swings coax deep flavor from the wood, giving the whiskey its full, mature character.
Style & Mash Bill
This is a straight rye built entirely from rye grain, traditionally grown and cultivated exclusively for the distillery on that single Washington farm. An all-rye recipe delivers an expressive, spice-forward profile, while extended aging in heavily toasted and charred American oak softens and rounds the spirit into something elegant and balanced.
Tasting Notes
Woodinville Straight Rye offers warm baking spices, peppercorn and a whisper of mint over a backbone of caramel, toffee and toasted oak. The palate is full and rounded, with notes of vanilla, dark fruit and a touch of cocoa. The finish is long and gently spiced, mellow and inviting rather than sharp.
What to Pair It With
A whiskey this rich and savory belongs beside hearty Mediterranean fare. Pair it with our American Wagyu Steaks for a luxurious match, or with the Sicilian Meatballs for warmth and comfort. To finish, it is wonderful alongside our Flourless Chocolate Cake. See the full dine-in menu for more pairings.
