Redwood Empire "Emerald Giant" Cask Strength Rye Whiskey

96 Points - The Tasting Panel: "A nose of orange peel, maple, and a hint of resin leads to a cracked pepper zing on the palate, awakening the giant. An energetic surge of peach cobbler, pecan, and maple-bacon, and espresso enables the warmth to seep thorough and give comfort. " Redwood Empire has taken the whisky world by storm and finally, after numerous requests, the core releases are available at cask strength. Buy a bottle - Redwood Empire plants a tree. Crafted in Sonoma, Redwood Empire is deeply tied to the forest. The Emerald Giant is one of the world's tallest and fastest growing trees. It is 1,180 years old and stands 360 feet tall, gaining over 1,500 lbs. of mass each year. The 3-5 year old rye whiskey is equally weighty. A mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, this combines distillate from Indiana and Redwood Empire. It's got a great spicy and sweet aroma and a mellow mouthfeel.
