Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon Whiskey 101 Proof
Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon Whiskey 101 Proof is the reserve take on the house flagship: a blend of 5-to-15-year-old barrels built from the brand's older whiskey stocks and more house grain-to-glass distillate, cut at a higher 101 proof (50.5% ABV), in this 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Redwood Empire Whiskey (distilled at Graton Distilling Co., Sonoma County, California) ages its whiskey in the temperate Northern California coastal climate, and the 101-proof Pipe Dream shows what those extra years and extra proof buy: a four-grain recipe — 73% corn, 19% rye, 5% malted barley, 3% wheat — with more age and more intensity than the standard Pipe Dream.
Tasting notes (official): color of pumpkin pie; nose of caramel apple pop, buttered bran muffin, and honey stick; palate of zesty lemon bar, chai spice, and sugar cookie shortbread.

Serving note: neat to taste the full 101 proof; a few drops of water bring out the chai and honey notes.
