Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye Whiskey

California whiskey producer Redwood Empire has been making an impact both in the US and Europe. Situated in the heart of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, the distillery made its first batch in 2016 and today is led by Master Distiller Jeff Duckhorn and Head Distiller Lauren Patz. Emerald Giant is made from a mash-bill of 95% premium rye and 5% malt barley, aged for over 3 years in new charred oak barrels. Expect a spice complexity with smooth rye notes, hints of honey, orange peel and peppery, leading to a prolonged cinnamon finish.
