Redwood Empire Whiskey has recently launched its latest creation, Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon, showcasing a blend of modern American whiskey techniques and Northern California craftsmanship. This unique four-grain bourbon, designed for a smooth and complex experience, incorporates a substantial 30% wheat in its mash bill, which is notably higher than that of many typical wheated bourbons.

The whiskey is a crafted blend of Redwood Empire’s own distillate and select high-wheat bourbons aged four to fourteen years from Kentucky and Indiana. Master Blender Lauren Patz notes that each ingredient is chosen strategically to enhance the whiskey’s complexity, adding layers of flavor that create a rich and balanced profile. Tasting notes include ripe stone fruit, honeyed grain, vanilla, and a hint of strawberry jam, complemented by gentle baking spices and oak.

The bourbon draws its name and inspiration from Colonel James Armstrong, who played a pivotal role in preserving California’s redwood forests in the 1870s. In an act of love and stewardship, he transferred land that would eventually become Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve to his daughter, Kate. This connection to conservation continues to resonate with Redwood Empire, as they also promote initiatives for planting trees.

Fans of great whiskey can find Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon available for purchase online and at retailers across the nation, with a suggested price of $39.99. This release further emphasizes Redwood Empire’s commitment to connecting their products with the unique culture and land of California, including coordinates on the bottle that lead consumers to the Colonel Armstrong Tree, a notable 1,400-year-old redwood.
