The Tasting Panel 97 Points | This 90-proof whiskey from Sonoma County pays homage to the humungous trees that grow along California’s northern coast. Sumptuous scents of salted orange peel give way to an impressive weightiness on the palate, where sea salt and bittersweet chocolate intertwine with nutmeg, exotic blue flowers, and caraway. Stone fruit makes a lovely entry on the finish.
The Wine Advocate 92 Points | Aromas of fresh grain, red berries, dried cherries, and fresh-cut lemon, overall a very fresh and lively nose that is beautifully fragrant and redolent of fresh morning fields. The palate is equally fresh, with balanced notes of red fruit, iced tea, and vanilla. The finish is quite long, with more vanilla, and lemon sorbet, balanced by savory espresso. A smooth but complex rye with depth and lively flavors, but easy to savor.
Producer Description
Named after the fastest-growing Redwood in the world, an ancient giant standing 359 feet tall and estimated to be 1,180 years old, this whiskey embodies boldness and resilience. Crafted with a robust high-rye mash bill, it delivers bold spice while maintaining a surprisingly soft mouthfeel. The palate reveals deep notes of tobacco and malt balls, culminating in a long-lasting, satisfying finish. On the nose, warm aromas of brown sugar and cinnamon rise gently, accented by a subtle hint of pepper. A spirited tribute to nature’s enduring strength and complexity.
