Graton Distilling Company takes its inspiration from the majestic coastal Redwoods, particularly the Lost Monarch, which is the world's largest coastal Redwood. Just like the towering Lost Monarch, Redwood Empire whiskey aims to make a lasting impression with its flavors and character.
One of the notable aspects of Redwood Empire whiskey is its award-winning bourbon-rye blend. The combination of these two distinct styles of whiskey creates a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice. The bourbon brings forth the smooth and rich flavors, while the rye adds a touch of boldness and complexity.
The art of blending whiskey requires skill and expertise, and the team at Graton Distilling Company has mastered this craft. They carefully select and marry various aged barrels of bourbon and rye to create a blend that is greater than the sum of its parts. This process involves meticulous tasting and experimentation to achieve the desired flavor profile.
What sets Redwood Empire whiskey apart is its dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The distillery pays close attention to every step of the production process, from sourcing the finest grains to distilling and aging the whiskey in charred oak barrels. This commitment to excellence is evident in every sip of Redwood Empire whiskey, which showcases the skill and passion of the distillers.
