Woodinville Straight Bourbon is a Washington-made straight bourbon, distilled from grain grown in our own state, and it is poured at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. We are proud to keep a local bourbon on the list — a true grain-to-glass whiskey from just across the water in Woodinville, with the depth and polish to hold its own against any Kentucky pour.
About the Distillery
Woodinville Whiskey Co. was founded in Woodinville, Washington, and built its reputation on a fully integrated, grain-to-glass approach. Every grain is grown on a single family farm in Quincy, in eastern Washington; the whiskey is mashed and distilled at the home distillery, then trucked over the Cascades to age in barrel houses in the high desert, where dramatic temperature swings drive deep interaction with the oak.
Style & Mash Bill
This is a straight bourbon built on a moderately rye-forward mash bill — a recipe that lands between sweet and spicy. The grain is estate-grown in Washington, and the barrels are seasoned in the open air for around eighteen months before being slowly toasted and heavily charred, a detail the distillery credits for the whiskey’s rich, layered character.
Tasting Notes
Expect a generous nose of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak with a hint of baking spice. The palate is rich and rounded, offering brown sugar, dark caramel and warm cinnamon, with the rye lending gentle structure. The finish is long and warming, with sweet oak carrying through — a confident, satisfying bourbon.
What to Pair It With
Woodinville’s rich, slightly spiced profile is a wonderful match for our hearty plates. Pour it with our American Wagyu Steaks, where its caramel depth meets the marbled beef, or with our Sicilian Meatballs for a warming, savory pairing. It is also excellent beside the Charcuterie Board. Browse the full dine-in menu to build your meal.
