The Robb Report has published its “critic’s definitive guide to the very best bottles since 2000” and Woodinville Whiskey’s Woodinville Straight Bourbon Aged 6 Years (90 proof $39.99 MSRP) is on the list.
“Our guiding principle since we started Woodinville in 2010 has always been to make the best craft whiskey in America. To be recognized by the Robb Report as one of the “50 Greatest Whiskeys of the 21st Century” is truly monumental and a reflection of the commitment and dedication we have to always put quality first,” states Woodinville co-founder Orlin Sorensen.
The Robb Report is “the leading voice of global luxury, synonymous around the world with the best of the best”. This list features whiskeys from around the world, with prices topping at $80,000 for a single bottle of Japanese Single Malt. Woodinville’s Straight Bourbon Aged 6 Years’ price is the third lowest on the list. It is available at retailers nationally and online at woodinvillewhiskeyco.com.
Woodinville is a craft distillery built on belief— belief in craft, in place, and in possibility that the best days for whiskey drinkers are still yet to come. It was founded in 2010 by two best friends, Brett Carlile and Orlin Sorensen, who were raised in a valley filled with wineries where wild yeast fills the air. They were guided by one of the greatest master distillers who ever lived, David Pickerell, and use grains grown by a single 4th generation farm family, the Omlins. They craft the whiskey in Woodinville, WA and then truck the spirits 170 miles back over the Cascade mountains to that same farm to age in custom-coopered barrels. The semi-arid climate in Quincy, WA is perfect for maturing whiskey.
Woodinville is Washington state's largest craft distillery, and Forbes reported that Woodinville Whiskey “may just be the best craft whiskey in America.” Newsweek recognized Woodinville as one of the “10 Best Bourbons of 2026”, and in December Kara Newman included Woodinville Straight Bourbon in the Wine Enthusiast “Best Bourbons of 2025” and recognized it as one of the “Top 100 Spirits of the Year”.
The distillery and tasting room in Woodinville is home to exclusive launches like the annual Harvest Release. In 2026 Woodinville will release its first 10-Year Bourbon, following the releases of an 8 Year in 2024 and a 9 Year in 2025. Scheduled in advance, private distiller-led tours are available at the distillery in Woodinville which is open daily. New private tours are now available when reserved in advance at the Quincy bottling and aging facility as well.
