Redwood Empire Cask Strength Lost Monarch (2022 Release)
Blended American Whiskey
Redwood Empire // USA
RARE
Redwood Empire Cask Strength Lost Monarch is one of three limited edition bottlings featuring uncut and unfiltered whiskeys of the distillery's core portfolio. Lost Monarch is its "ryebon" offering, a blend of straight rye and straight bourbon whiskeys. The make up here is 55% rye (94% rye, 5% malted barley, 1% wheat) and 45% bourbon (74% corn, 20% rye, 4.5% malted barley, 1.5% wheat).
The whiskeys featured here were aged in 53-gallon, char #3 barrels for a minimum of three years and up to 14 years. Since they were aged in the California fog belt, the cask strength proof of 117.2 is lower than many other such offerings of similar makeup. Cask Strength Lost Monarch is available nationwide as of October 2022. (SRP $70).

Tasting Notes
"Unsurprisingly, without added water the aroma on the nose is a bit muted, but there are notes of char smoke, peanut shells, and oak. Moving on to the taste, the flavor is tangy and spice-forward, but feels a bit tight and tannic. Adding some water softens the edges a bit bringing forth a little vanilla sweetness as well, but you're still left with a hearty, spicy flavor. The younger whiskeys come through with a bit of raw, "uncooked" grain and the finish is bitter. "
