This small-batch bourbon from Washington’s Wildwood Spirits delivers craft precision and character in one bottle. The Dark Door stands out for its grain-forward richness, smooth texture and subtle complexity—making it an excellent choice for sipping neat or enjoying in elevated cocktails.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Wildwood Spirits in Bothell, Washington, The Dark Door Bourbon is crafted using organic, non-GMO grains sourced locally. Its mash bill features approximately 73% corn, 15% wheat and 12% malted barley for the version aged five years. The distillate matures in new American oak barrels and emerges at around 45% ABV (90 proof) for basic releases, with some limited editions bottled at higher proof or longer age. Wildwood emphasizes a “farm-to-distillery” philosophy that highlights local grains and small-batch production methods.
