Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Cask Strength is a blend of straight bourbon and straight rye whiskeys from Graton Distilling Co. in Sonoma County, California, bottled at full barrel proof, 117.2 proof (58.6% ABV).
Lost Monarch is named after the world's largest coastal redwood, and it is the new name for Redwood Empire's original straight whiskey blend. This limited-edition cask strength offering takes that award-winning bourbon-rye blend straight from the barrel and bottles it without dilution, for maximum flavor intensity.
The whiskeys are aged a minimum of four years, and Redwood Empire ages in the temperate climate of the Northern California coast. Bottling at cask strength preserves the full intensity and character of the whiskey as it comes from the barrel, so the sweetness of the bourbon and the spice of the rye arrive with real weight and a long finish.
Its dark label carries a bearded lumberjack among the redwoods, and the bottle makes a bold gift for anyone who loves big, uncut American whiskey.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
Coast redwoods are the tallest trees on Earth, and the cool, foggy climate they thrive in also makes for slow, steady barrel aging.
Blending straight bourbon with straight rye combines the sweet, round character of corn with the peppery spice of rye in one glass.
At cask strength, a few drops of water open the whiskey and bring out its sweeter notes.
