Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye Whiskey

Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye Whiskey comes from Redwood Empire Distilling in Sonoma County, California, and takes its name from one of the tallest and fastest-growing redwood trees. The brand pairs traditional American whiskey making with a sustainability-driven ethos, and Emerald Giant is its rye-focused expression, delivering a bold, spicy and complex flavour profile.

On the nose, expect bright rye spice with mint, citrus peel and brown sugar, supported by light oak and herbal notes. The palate is lively and balanced, with cinnamon, ginger, caramel, honey and orange peel. The finish is medium in length, with pepper, mint and lingering caramel sweetness. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it shines both neat and as the foundation for a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
