Product Overview
Wildwood Spirits “The Dark Door” Straight Bourbon
A finely-crafted expression from Washington’s Pacific Northwest, “The Dark Door” Straight Bourbon presents the art of whiskey-making in small-batch form — rooted in locally-sourced grain, precise distillation, and unique barrel aging methods. Produced by Wildwood Spirits in Bothell, Washington, this bourbon reflects a dedication to craft, terroir, and character.
Beginning with a mash of primarily Washington-grown corn and wheat (while specific mash-bill percentages vary by release), the spirit is distilled and aged in specially selected oak barrels, often coopered by artisan small cooperages and finished in specialty casks. The result is a bourbon that combines regional ingredients with elevated aging techniques and a distinct Pacific Northwest sensibility.
Craft & Terroir – Made from locally grown non-GMO grains in Washington state, distilled and matured by Wildwood Spirits for a truly region-driven bourbon experience.
Specialty Barrel Aging – Aged in barrels crafted by an artisan cooperage and in some editions finished in wine-barrel cooperage, imparting refined oak influence, subtle tannins, and layered complexity.
Flavor Profile – Expect aromas of vanilla bean, toasted oak, and caramelized sugar, followed on the palate by toffee, honeyed corn sweetness, roasted nuts, and just a touch of floral lift. The finish is long and smooth with gentle oak spice and a polished wood-tannic tail.
Versatile Enjoyment – Ideal for sipping neat or over a large ice cube to appreciate the layered maturation. Also strong enough to stand in deluxe cocktails where depth and character matter.
Limited Release Appeal – With small production runs and craft barrel-selections, “The Dark Door” is sought after by bourbon enthusiasts looking for regional distinction and thoughtful execution.
