Redwood Empire Whiskey Lost Monarch Cask Strength Blend of Straight Whiskeys

Unleash the untamed spirit of California with Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Cask Strength Blend of Straight Whiskeys. Crafted by Redwood Empire Distilling in Graton, Sonoma County, this 117.2-proof (58.6% ABV) limited-edition blend, first released in October 2022, is named after the 320-foot-tall Lost Monarch, the world’s largest coastal redwood. A fusion of 55% rye whiskey (94% rye, 5% malted barley, 1% wheat, aged 3-5 years) and 45% bourbon (74% corn, 20% rye, 4.5% malted barley, 1.5% wheat, aged 4-12 years), it includes MGP-sourced and house-distilled rye. Aged at least 4 years in the temperate Northern California fog belt, it’s non-chill filtered, delivering a bold, unfiltered profile. For every bottle sold, a tree is planted, reflecting the distillery’s sustainability mission. Sip it neat to embrace its fiery complexity, with a splash of water to soften the spice, or in a bold Sazerac.

COLOR: Dark Amber color with a slightly orange cast
NOSE: Complex, with clove, cinnamon, vanilla, orange citrus zest, 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.
