Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Whiskey

Definitely more bourbon than rye but the spiciness makes the sweetness that much more noticeable. Smooth and buttery makes this an amazing value buy.

Nose is like a peach / orange / apricot candy down the center. A bit of a green apple tang with a bit of powdered sugar / brown sugar sweetness in the background. Definitely a powdered sugar / marshmallow sweetness on the pallet. A little bit of orange and light red fruit notes, with some floral oak on the finish.

Strong, full body and spicy. For me it was spirit forward not spice.

My first bou-rye… Love this one! Heard some good things about Redwood Empire and they were all spot on. This a solid pour at a solid price ($39). Will always have a place on my shelf.
