Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Finished with Toasted Applewood Staves
Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Finished with Toasted Applewood Staves
“Every fall, we do a Harvest Release, and back in 2017, our release was our flagship bourbon finished with applewood staves. Of all our releases, this has been one of our most popular—so, this year we’re bringing it back nationally.” —Brett Carlile, head distiller & co-founder
Traditionally grown corn, rye, and malted barley form the heart of this truly small-batch whiskey, a twist on our flagship Straight Bourbon. We mash, distill, and barrel the grain in our distillery, then mature the whiskey in our Central Washington private barrel houses.
After the whiskey has fully matured, we add staves of toasted applewood. This applewood “finishing” process imparts additional layers of depth and richness with aromas of apple and berry on the nose and palate.
