It is named after the Van Duzen River, a tributary of the Eel River, paying homage to the pioneering spirit of Northern California's explorers and naturalists. Redwood Empire distils in Sonoma County, California, in a region that stretches from San Francisco to Humboldt Bay and on to the Oregon border, home to majestic coastal redwoods, some more than 350 feet high and 2,000 years old. Ageing its barrels in the temperate climate of the Northern California coast allows a slow, even extraction of flavour, producing whiskey of balance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a high malt content, Van Duzen pushes the boundaries of traditional rye whiskey, adding a rich, malty depth beneath its spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare small-lot rye, it makes a fine gift for rye explorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, or use it in a classic rye cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye with a high share of malted barley.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small-lot straight rye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94 proof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redwood Empire Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Rye Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Van Duzen, Small Lot Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94 proof (47% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonoma County, California, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or mix a Manhattan.
