Redwood Empire Whiskey Unveils New Small Lot Series
Redwood Empire Whiskey, a California whiskey made and aged in the ancient forests of the Redwood Empire, announced the launch of its Small Lot Series.
The Small Lot Series kicks off with three distinct whiskeys, each embodying Redwood Empire’s commitment to experimentation and pushing the boundaries of what whiskey can be, while staying true to its distinctive house style.
Foggy Burl Single Malt Whiskey: This scarce, grain-to-glass release is a testament to Master Distillery Jeff Duckhorn’s appreciation for the diverse world of malts. This first batch was only 27 barrels of 100% Malted Barley. The whiskey utilizes seven different malts.
Devils Tower High Rye Bourbon: This four-grain mash bill bourbon features a prominent rye component of 45% in the mash bill. This single lot, grain-to-glass release was blended from 25 barrels and bottled at 99 proof.
Screaming Titan Wheated Bourbon: Hand selected barrels aged at least 5 years old this blended bourbon showcases 30% wheat in the mash bill. Cutting into some of the richness and viscosity of corn, this larger wheat component lightens it up a bit and lets honey floral notes shine through.
An extremely limited number of bottles of Foggy Burl and Devils Tower will be available on Redwood Empire’s website and are also currently hitting shelves at select retailers nationwide. Keep your eyes peeled for Screaming Titan in March. To learn more about Redwood Empire and its new Small Lot Series, visit https://redwoodempirewhiskey.com/.
About Redwood Empire Whiskey
Founder Derek Benham and master distiller Duckhorn recognized that the Redwood region’s temperate climate and humidity would allow for a slow, even extraction of flavor during the whiskey aging process. In 2015, they began selecting older barrels from like-minded distilleries across the nation and blending them with their own distillate in Sonoma County. Now, Redwood Empire Whiskey reserves more of its own distillate for 100% grain-to-glass expressions and increasingly features aged whiskeys distilled onsite. Inspired by John Muir and the old growth forests he sought to protect, they partner with Trees for the Future and One Tree Planted, by planting one tree for every bottle sold – to date they’ve surpassed 1,000,000 trees planted.
