Redwood Empire Devil's Tower High Rye Bourbon takes its name from a giant 340-foot coastal redwood in Redwood National Park. As part of Redwood Empire's estate-crafted Small Lot Series, this grain-to-glass release features an aggressive 45% rye component in its four-grain mash bill, delivering a balanced blend of traditional bourbon corn sweetness and sharp rye spice.
Distilled and aged in Sonoma County, California, the whiskey benefits from Northern California's cool coastal fog and temperate climate, allowing for slow, even wood extraction over five years of aging. Redwood Empire pairs traditional distilling with environmental conservation, planting a tree for every bottle sold.
Nose: Vanilla cream, green apple, and red fruit balanced by honey, oak, and crisp black pepper.
