Tasting Notes

Redwood Empire's Emerald Giant Rye is a bold and robust whiskey that showcases the versatility of rye grain. Pouring a deep amber hue, the aroma entices with notes of waxy orange peel, freshly baked rye bread, creamy butter, and a hint of warm cinnamon. On the palate, it offers a delightful interplay of flavors – black pepper spice mingles with rich caramel, while lingering notes of zesty orange and cinnamon evoke a subtly festive feel. The finish is long and satisfying, with a delicate sweetness reminiscent of honey and cassia bark. Crafted with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, this whiskey pays homage to the mighty Emerald Giant, the fastest-growing redwood tree in the world. A true expression of Sonoma County's distilling prowess.
