2. Woodinville Rye Whiskey (90 proof) 750ml:

Here are some additional things to consider when choosing between Woodinville Straight Bourbon and Woodinville Rye Whiskey:

• Personal preference: If you enjoy the classic bourbon flavors of vanilla and caramel, go for the Straight Bourbon. If you prefer spicier whiskeys with notes of rye bread and pepper, choose the Rye Whiskey.

• Cocktails: Both bourbons can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. However, the Rye Whiskey might be a bit better suited for cocktails like Manhattans and Old Fashioneds due to its spicier character.

Ultimately, the best way to choose is to try both Woodinville Straight Bourbon and Woodinville Rye Whiskey for yourself and see which one you prefer.
