Fun fact, John Muir was born & raised in “Dunbar” Scotland (my last name & direct family lineage) He is showcased & beloved all over the city of Dunbar + Scotland for his environmental causes. Plus the U.S park initiatives as you stated. Multiple reasons why i like the bottle design & the juice is pretty good 😊, on the hunt for all of these now 😂
Great review. Interesting about the cask strength versions, agree that i would have looked forward to the Lost Monarch CS as i love the "regular" Lost Monarch. Will have to keep my eye out for the Emerald Giant CS. Keep up the great work!
I’m curious what your take would’ve been had you tasted the Lost Monarch first. Maybe it tasted flat because you tried the rye and bourbon first? 🤷🏻♂️
Spot on. I picked up the LM and kinda disappointed; like you said, not really cohesive and comes off pretty young. Man I’m just sticking to the MJ PICKS NOW 😂
Hi Jason big time fan and supporter of your amazing reviews! May I ask how you manage to get those amazing beauty camera pull videos when you introduce your review bottles? And what lighting setup are you using?
Just seen a Grizzly Beast bourbon and Rocket Top rye bottled in bond says spring 2017 batch 2 on both the cork labels higher abv 50+ going for about $90 apiece. I didn’t grab them but I stood there thinking about it for awhile lol
Great review thanks Jason. I’ll skip these and buy an older and more delicious JDBP, ECBP, OFBP etc. I’m not a fan of the regular Lost Monarch as it tasted young and spikey in flavor (sign of youth). If their regular expression doesn’t impress me their barrel strength certainly won’t either.
I wonder if everyone has caught on to what you said yet. "Wheated". Is the non-cask strength wheated? None of the original Pipe Dream, Emerald Giant, or Lost Monarch have wheat in them. What does? Rocket Top and Grizzly Beast.
Was that a Boondocks reference in the intro 🤣 Did you blend the Pipe and Emerald to see if they were better than the Monarch? I'm picking up the Rocket Top and Grizzly Beast next week
@@TheMashandDrum I couldn't put my finger on it until you described it. The two types of whiskeys are fighting each other. Plus, you hyped it up too much for me too, haha!
I find it odd that the mash bills for the cask strength versions are slightly different than the regular versions. Neither of the originals has wheat in them. Not sure if the small percentage makes a huge difference, but I guess enough so they decided to add it. Wonder what the driver was behind that choice.
I wonder of it's a statement that they've added more of their own juice. The Emerald Giant says distilled in Indiana, Kentucky and California. My regular Lost Monarch does not declare sources of the whiskies.

The rye is fantastic. It has a nice mix of chocolate, pumpernickel and spice. A very rich balanced juice.
The 3rd Whiskey tuber to review these! I can't wait to get my hands on them. Big fan of RWE!
I love the cask pipe dream. Haven't trried the others
First the Junkies reviewed and now you! So jelly and want to try those, especially the rye
Emerald Giant is a beautiful bottle!
I've just picked up the only one of the three I've ever seen, the Pipe Dream, and I find it surprisingly mild, but I like the subtle piney note
Thanks for saving me $84+ on the Lost Monarch CS. May spring for the redwood empire cs Pipe Dream though at $84.
So the bourbon is at the same proof point as Rare Breed - which would you prefer, especially considering the RB is $30 less?
Rare breed.
I just got pipe dreams last night. Looking forward to cracking it
Only have had the Pipe Dream $29.99 version. Probably a pipe dream to be able to find these Cask Strength versions.
Just picked up 2 bottles in Charlotte NC
Love the freshly cracked review, Jason!🥃 I have two of the three and still need the Giant. Great notes and impressions on the bottles!🥃
Great review. Interesting about the cask strength versions, agree that i would have looked forward to the Lost Monarch CS as i love the "regular" Lost Monarch. Will have to keep my eye out for the Emerald Giant CS. Keep up the great work!
Man I hope this hits near me. Quite a few people are saying the Emerald Giant is the best Cask Strength version and I'm ready to try one.
Pipe Dream was hands down my favorite of the three.
I’ll have to keep an eye out for these. Speaking of higher proof, have you tried the Larceny C922? Just cracked it tonight and it’s really solid.
I’m curious what your take would’ve been had you tasted the Lost Monarch first. Maybe it tasted flat because you tried the rye and bourbon first? 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe...I will definitely revisit. I want to see if they all open up a bit.
The Rye was my favorite!! Shockingly
Me too!
Great the only RE CS bottle I didnt get was the EG Rye. Dammit now gonna need to hunt down.
Emerald giant, I was able to get a bottle. I get expo marker on the nose but the flavors are great
Oh good note.
I have only been able to get the Bourbon, so far. Looking for the Rye now.
The rye! 🔥
All 3 sold out on their website.
$70 cask strength? How 2020 of them!
try adding some pipe dream to the lost monarch and see if you can find the sweet spot you are looking for
Been waiting for this one and it didn’t take long!
Had the reg Pipe Dream and thought it was a bit too thin for me, hope i can find the cask strength one
Wanted to get my hands on the rye, but I didn't realize how limited they were gonna be

The Rocket Top is awesome.
$99 in Massachusetts. The rye is still worth it at that price IMO....
How can you tell the differnce between the REDWOOD EMPIRE CASK STRENGTH EMERALD GIANT (2023 RELEASE) vs, 2022 release as they are both 58.2 % ABV ?
Oh I don't know. Dare I say laser codes? Lol. Any year printed anywhere on the back?
Does anyone know what the distribution on these is going to look like?
Great review thanks Jason. I’ll skip these and buy an older and more delicious JDBP, ECBP, OFBP etc. I’m not a fan of the regular Lost Monarch as it tasted young and spikey in flavor (sign of youth). If their regular expression doesn’t impress me their barrel strength certainly won’t either.
Are these still sourced from multiple places or is it their own distillate at this point? If you mentioned it imissed it
The mashbills are odd so I think some is sourced and some is contract distilled
@@TheMashandDrum wouldnt surprise me. Thanks man
I wonder if everyone has caught on to what you said yet. "Wheated". Is the non-cask strength wheated? None of the original Pipe Dream, Emerald Giant, or Lost Monarch have wheat in them. What does? Rocket Top and Grizzly Beast.
The current pipe dream has like 1% wheat or something from what i remember but i could be very wrong
I checked the Redwood Empire website just to make sure. The website says: Mash Bill: 75% Corn, 21% Raw Rye, 4% Malt Barley. There's no wheat there.
Stonefruity Vibes.. New t shirt?
We need a top 5 whiskies for Thanksgiving video!
On it
Dam man how did you get these I want the lost monarch one sooooo fucking bad I’m huge on redwood empire
Drink them down through the shoulder, let them sit a while, and follow up. Should be interesting.
Someone's been busy video editing. New intro video (or perhaps I just been inattentive for a bit?) 🤘🥃
New intro I've had for a while now. Lol. Welcome back!
@@TheMashandDrum I've been here. Ask my wife. If it's not naked and 2' from me it may take me a while to notice.
@@alanpawlowski1202 hahaha. Fair enough

"Game recognize game Grandad, and you looking kinda unfamiliar." Love that show. Ever watch Legends of Chamberlain Heights?
Bro, it's not just you. I was pretty disappointed in Lost Monarch.
Yeah. Kinda hurt. Lol
@@TheMashandDrum I couldn't put my finger on it until you described it. The two types of whiskeys are fighting each other. Plus, you hyped it up too much for me too, haha!
Proof is lower because of time spent aging in MGP Warehouses, lol.

Different grains or mashbills totally make s deference 🥃

That's disappointing. Just got the Monarch today.
fucking love that hat
Goorin Bros.
Too young and overpriced.
