$500.00
110 Proof
Redwood Empire
California
750 ML (Standard)
Touching down with a mild berry note, the heat begins to slowly build on the back-palate.The mouthfeel is oily and it accompanies a sweeter touch of brown sugar and cinnamon that hit the mid-palate after a few moments.
Raspberries and blackberries leap from the glass, followed by a creamy note and a touch of heat.
It starts off with clear notes of dark fruit blackberry and plum which then fade.While clearly a finished Whiskey, the bourbon influence comes through and allows for a butterscotch and rye spice note that feels familiar, but take some patience to get to.
Redwood Empire has a series of three standard releases in their core product lineup, including a straight bourbon, a straight rye, and a blended Whisk ey, but the Haystack Needle is a more limited release.A 12-year-old straight bourbon, distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana is then aged in port casks and the finished product is bottled at cask strength (110 proof).
