Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Cask Strength Limited Edition Rye Whiskey 750mL

Experience Emerald Giant straight from the barrel in this limited edition cask strength offering. Aged for a minimum of four years in the temperate climate of the Northern California coast, explore new heights of Redwood Empire’s craft whiskey.

Down a winding trail and along a meandering creek in the Redwood National Park rises the massive trunk of Emerald Giant. Yawning high above at over 360 feet, this August Sequoia is the fastest growing Redwood in the world, gaining over 50 cubic feet and more than 1500 pounds of mass each year.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Burnt Orange.

Nose: Delicate herbal tea, soft cinnamon, dried orange peel.

Palate: Earl Grey tea, viscous, dark chocolate coffee beans, warm spice finish.

"There’s a savory, herbaceous quality to the nose, calling to mind tea leaves, dried herbs, and a sprig of mint. Sweeter notes, like Andes chocolates, vanilla frosting, and yellow cake soon join the mix, creating a lovely balance between honeyed and herb-driven notes. The palate takes that sweetness and spice even further—there’s delicious heat on the tip of the tongue, giving way to raspberry-filled chocolate squares, black forest cake, and ripe red fruit. The finish amps up the dark chocolate, with a kiss of berry fruit at the end." - Julia Higgins, Whisky Advocate (91 Points)
