Redwood Empire Whiskey Lost Monarch Blended Straight Whiskey

Discover the bold harmony of California’s craft with Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Blended Straight Whiskey. Crafted by Redwood Empire Distilling in Graton, Sonoma County, this 90-proof (45% ABV) blend, named after the world’s largest coastal redwood in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, combines 60% rye whiskey (95% rye, 5% malted barley, aged 3-5 years) and 40% bourbon whiskey (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley, aged 4-12 years). Sourced primarily from MGP and including a portion of house-distilled rye, it’s non-chill filtered, offering a balanced profile of sweetness and spice. For every bottle sold, Redwood Empire plants a tree, supporting sustainability. Sip it neat to savor its fruity rye notes, on the rocks for a smoother sip, or in an Empire Manhattan for a spicy twist.

COLOR: Dark Amber color with a slightly orange cast
NOSE: Complex, with clove, cinnamon, vanilla, orange citrus zest, and butterscotch notes, and an intriguing hint of sandalwood.
PALATE: Sweetness from corn and spiciness from rye combine with an almost maple syrup-like flavor. Vanilla and caramel notes lead to a persistent, yet subdued peppery finish.
