Redwood Empire Whiskey has made quite a name for itself in the last few years thanks to its well-made, award-winning expressions crafted and aged in the “ancient forest of the Redwood Empire” in California.

Recently, the brand launched two new expressions. Both are award-winning bottled-in-bond whiskeys from the 100% grain-to-glass, artisanal whisky outfit. The first is Grizzly Beast Bourbon and the second is Rocket Top Rye.

Distilled in 2019, this bottled-in-bond bourbon was matured for a full five years in the temperate weather of Northern California. This is Batch 004 of this sublime whiskey. Every batch of this popular whiskey is slightly different, making it a must-have for collectors.

Made with a mash bill of 69% corn, 18% rye, 9% wheat, and 5% malted barley, it’s known for its nose of cherry cola and rhubarb pie and a palate of nutmeg, sticky toffee, and cedar.

Rocket top Rye is also made under the strict rules of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. It was also aged in Northern California. This whiskey was originally sourced, but the only change made by Redwood Empire was the addition of water from the Russian River Valley Aquifer.

Made with a mash bill of 89% Rye, 5% Wheat, and 6% Malt Barley, this three-grain rye whiskey was matured for five full years in oak barrels. This result is a 100-proof sipping whiskey with notes of cinnamon and mascarpone on the nose and dried fruit, tobacco, and adobo pepper on the palate.

Previously, we wrote about Wyoming Whiskey's release of Queen of the Tetons, a limited-edition bourbon made to pay tribute to beloved Grizzly 399, who was killed in a car accident near Grand Teton National Park back in October. The popular whiskey brand is auctioning Bottle No. 399 of Queen of the Tetons for charity. If you have the extra cash lying around, you can add it to your collection will helping a great cause.

The auction is hosted by BlockBar, and all proceeds go to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, which protects and preserves the habitats of Bears and other wildlife. Only 720 bottles of this limited-edition bourbon were sold, and Bottle No. 399 is especially noteworthy for obvious reasons.
