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.

In the pantheon of highly sought-after releases, it’s tough to beat the appeal of Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon. You might be wondering why a ten-year-old bourbon has such a rabid fanbase. It was tough to find for years as it was released in minimal quantities.

In addition, this single-barrel bourbon is well-known for its high-quality, nuanced flavor profile. That said, the folks at Michter’s just announced it was launching the 2025 batch of this beloved whiskey.
