Product Description
This rare whiskey was bottled under the strict tenents of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Aged in the temperate climate of the Northern California coast, the original distillate was altered only by the addition of pure water from the Russian River Valley aquifer. This is the purest expression of Redwood Empire’s craft.
Aromas of sandalwood, clove, parsnip, and dry leaves. On the palate, black pepper, coffee grounds, leather, and rich malt.

Tasting PanelFollowing aromas of brown-sugared peach, baked apple, and a hint of pekoe tea, the liquid spreads a warm blanket of papaya, cashew, and peach cobbler on the tongue before a finish of vanilla bean and tobacco leaf. 100 proof

Wine EnthusiastLook for a concentrated crème brûlée aroma but a lighter flavor profile, mixing caramel, toasted brown sugar and a plummy note. There’s just enough toasty spice to keep it warming and lively, shot through with nutmeg, ginger and allspice. This is an 87% rye whiskey with small measures of barley and wheat, aged for five years and bottled in bond.
Rye whiskey, a distinct category within American whiskey, is primarily crafted from a mash bill containing at least 51% rye grain, contributing to its bold and spicy flavor profile. Aged in charred new oak barrels, rye whiskey often showcases a robust character with notes of pepper, fruit, and sometimes a hint of earthiness, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a more assertive and complex whiskey experience. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails, rye whiskey has gained popularity for its unique and flavorful contributions to the world of spirits.
