Redwood Empire Releases Trio of Limited Cask Strength Whiskeys
Redwood Empire Whiskey announced the release of a trio of new limited edition whiskeys: Cask Strength Pipe Dream Bourbon Whiskey, Cask Strength Emerald Giant Rye Whiskey and Cask Strength Lost Monarch Blend of Rye and Bourbon Whiskey.
This comes on the heels of second batch of the distillery’s Bottled-in-Bond.
These Cask Strength offerings are bottled straight from the barrel, uncut and unfiltered with proofs ranging from 116.4 to 117.2. This proof is lower than many other cask strength offerings because of the time spent aging in the temperate climate in California’s fog belt which stretches from the San Francisco Bay to the Oregon border.
The distillery is committed to sustainability efforts by limiting the water and energy used to make the products. To ensure the health of tomorrow’s forests, Redwood Empire Whiskey also partnered with Trees for the Future, where a tree is planted for every bottle sold. To date, Redwood Empire Whiskey has been responsible for planting more than 500,000 trees.
Best enjoyed neat or on a large rock, the three expressions of Redwood Empire Whiskey’s Cask Strength collection are now available nationwide in limited quantities with a suggested retail price of $70 for a 750mL bottle.
