Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Cask Strength Bourbon
“Scented with vanilla bean and a hint of milk chocolate, the bold, velvety palate offers black cherry and brandied cherry, leading into a bracing clove finish that is supplemented by hints of cocoa and lemon peel astringency. What's in the bottle: a blend of high-rye bourbons distilled in California and Indiana, aged a minimum of four years and bottled in California.” - 92 PTS, WINE ENTHUSIAST (12/2023)
“Spice-driven bakery shop aromas highlight the nose with notes of cinnamon babka, Christmas cake, gingerbread cookies, and powdered sugar sitting alongside a woodsy, pine forest quality. Water brings out toasted coconut and caramelized banana. A creamy and honeyed palate delivers tobacco leaf, vanilla cream, rye spice, cinnamon scone, and bitter chocolate. It’s zippy and benefits from added water. Whipped cream punctuates a lengthy finish Spice abounds on this robust and potent whiskey.” - 91 PTS, WHISKY ADVOCATE (Spring 2023)
