Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Cask Strength is a highly-regarded, limited-edition American whiskey expression from California-based Redwood Empire Distilling. It is the uncut, unfiltered, and barrel-proof evolution of their popular core "Lost Monarch" straight whiskey blend.
Named after the world's largest coastal redwood tree located in Northern California, this expression captures a bold, rustic profile shaped by aging in the temperate climate of the Russian River Valley wine region.
Product Overview & Specifications
- Whiskey Type: Blend of Straight Whiskeys (Rye and Bourbon marriage). It is created by combining the distillery's core components: Pipe Dream Bourbon and Emerald Giant Rye.
- Proof: Typically clocks in at 117.2 Proof (58.6% ABV), though slight variations exist by batch.
- Composition (Overall Blend): Formulated as 55% Straight Rye Whiskey and 45% Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
-
Detailed Grain Mash Bill: Unlike the standard lower-proof edition, the cask strength version introduces a small component of wheat, resulting in a unique four-grain profile:
- Rye Component: 94% Rye, 5% Malted Barley, 1% Wheat.
- Bourbon Component: 74% Corn, 20% Raw Rye, 4.5% Malted Barley, 1.5% Wheat.
- Age: Composed of a blend of whiskeys aged between 3 to 14 years.
- Pricing: The original MSRP sits around $70–$75, though market price averages typically run between $85 and $95 depending on retailer availability.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Vibrant and highly aromatic. It leads with prominent notes of mint chocolate ice cream, dark chocolate, pine needles, earthy undertones, and fresh floral notes.
- Palate: Assertive and deeply flavorful. Expect a bright wave of warm baking spices (clove and nutmeg), balanced by apricot cobbler, sweet caramel, and a rich, oily mouthfeel.
- Finish: Long, warming, and complex. It rounds out with a signature white pepper and rye spice sting, trailing into lingering brown sugar sweetness and walnut tannins
