I love the Redwood Empire lineup. And their bottle art is so excellent. Wasn't mentioned, but Redwood Empire is sort of like Newman's Own. The owner of a huge California Winery owns Redwood Empire and then donates all the proceeds from the their whiskey to save the redwoods. Good whiskey and a great cause!
Where are you reading this? They only state that they partnered with organizations to commit to "planting a tree for every bottle sold" I haven't seen or heard anywhere else that they donate all proceeds.
Discovered Redwood Empire about 6months ago from another bourbon channel, and Lost Monarch instantly became my daily drinker…..just LOVE it. Was lucky enough to pick up a bottle of their Emerald Giant Rye Cask Strength….its my favorite bottle I have! Never had anything I didn’t love from these guys.
The names of the Redwood Empire releases are names of Redwood trees. The coordinates of the tree are listed on the label. I like their products especially at the price.
Hey guys, I just want to say you guys are great. You’re the only whisky tubers I still watch. I found watching other channels gave me FOMO and I would run to stores and spend too much money. I have toned it way back! Now I just sip and enjoy the content without feeling like I have to rush to get anything. Keep up the awesome content.
Your reply really spoke to me. I suffer from FOMO, but I just try to put them in the back of my mind so if I can get a shot here, then I can taste what it is. I really wish we had bourbon tasting here in North Florida that I could go to but either I’m stuck in a cave somewhere or I have no idea what’s going on or if they don’t have it. I pretty much stick to E H Taylor single barrel and eagle rare. I will never probably buy Another bottle of E H Taylor because once you get to those prices like to $300 I am out but I can get eagle route for 50 bucks. I would like to try a product that has a chocolate flavor. I’ve just never had that in a bourbon so anyone who knows one that really honestly has a chocolate flavor. Please let me know. Thank you.
Redwood Empire is my favorite distillery, hands down. From their core line-up to the special releases, they are great whiskies at great pricing that I can pretty much find everywhere (though I am in California and not too far from the distillery, so that may have something to do with it). The BiB Rocket Top Rye and BiB Grizzly Beast are slightly different recipes from year to year, and the most recent has a 5-grain mashbill! I also got my hands on one of the Haystack Needle bottles - a 14-year bourbon finished in Calvados (apple brandy) casks, and it is out of this world!
Lost Monarch is my favorite of their core releases (although I have not tried the new one) and the Cask Strength Lost Monarch is one of my all time favorite bottles.
Love me some Redwood Empire. In my part of CA their standard releases go for $32.99. Great story, informative and appealing labels, and whiskey that is just always darn good, and punches way above the price point. Lost Monarch is one of my favorite every day sippers - so tasty and well balanced.
Got the Screaming Titan and cracked it open last night. Another winner! A friend sent me a sample of Redwood Empire American Whiskey batch 001. So good. 🥃
Emerald Giant is one of my top go-to ryes, always keeping some on hand, holds up well to Michters SB Straight Rye. Pipe Dream is a good and competes well with KC 9. Lost Monarch is fine at $35, but JD Triple Mash slightly better. I would love to try the cask strength Redwoods.
Lost Monarch is one of my every day sippers. Very similar flavor profile to Pipe Dream, love them both, but Lost Monarch has a little bit more body and is a little bit smoother. Either way, I'm a big fan of Redwood Empire and you'll always find a few bottles on my shelf.
I haven't tried any of the core line-up yet, but I picked up the bottled in bond rye and bourbon a while back. I love both of them. Last weekend, I found Foggy Burl in a local store. Though I like all kinds of whisky, single malt is my favorite category, so I was happy to find it. It is very aromatic and heavy on the malt. I haven't had anything else quite like it. This style works very well for me, but it might not be for everybody. The bottled in bond series and Foggy Burl are their own distillate. I know some of the others are sourced. Maybe the next time I need an inexpensive general purpose bourbon or rye that is great for mixing or sipping neat, I'll pick up one of the core products. It will be interesting to see how their sourced whisky compares to the ones that are made entirely from their own distillate.
Heard a lot about Redwood Empire so headed out to get the Lost Monarch but instead found 1 bottle of the Emerald Giant cask strength so had to get it. Looking forward to popping the cork.
That's an impressive line up fellas. I immediately checked on our state website and I found out the store up the street had gotten the Emerald Giant and the Lost Monarch. Away I went to pick them up. Score! I will be looking for others. Thanks for the review!
I finished off a bottle of Grizzly Beast on Thursday. Picked up a bottle of the Screaming Titan on Friday. Can’t wait to get into it. I also have their Lost Monarch (delicious) and Pipe Dream (unopened).
I prefer the Pipe Dream to the Lost Monarch. I feel it provides more of a forward sweet and spice finish punch making more of an interesting sip. That finish is probably my favorite part about it.
Thanks for the awesome intro to RE! I have been reluctant to try any of these because I just hadn't read or heard much about them. Think I might try RE now!
They really are great. I tried 8 different samples a few months ago and everyone was banger. I have a rule that if I try any 3 offerings from a distillery and like all 3, I’ll buy ANYTHING they offer. This is one distillery that just hits on all cylinders.
Can’t believe didn’t catch onto that, what a smart and interesting gimmick. Thanks for this, hopefully we can use this to help speculate what they’ll come up with next
Been on the RE train for a couple of years and haven't found a person yet that I gave some PipeDream to that they didn't love it. Can't go wrong with any of their products.

I'm a total Redwood Empire fan. I agree with Trenton that they need a Bottled in Bond. Both Emerald Giant bottles are my favorite. Can't wait to try Rocket Top.
Grizzly beast and rocket top are both bottled and bond. He was just saying there should be a third because the 3 in the core line-up and the 3 cask strength, so there should be 3 BiB as well.
I got a first release of the Foggy Burl. IT. IS. AMAZING. Huge chocolate mocha notes with really smooth finish. Typically not my flavor profile, but this one draws be back. I vote the "Grizzly" as my second favorite.
If you like Foggy Burl, finish it an don’t rinse the glass. Then proceed to pour a little Glenmorangie Forest in. It evokes and evolves the nose and palate so much. It was a happy accident. Grabbed the wrong glass and hot damn was the best thing ever
It may be a little off topic but you mentioned some American Single Malts not being up to par. If you can get the Town Branch 7yr ASM, I highly recommend it. I'd love to try the Redwood Empire one but it was so allocated where I am I couldn't get it anywhere. Great video as usual. Cheers!
Lost monarch was my gateway into the redwood lineup. I now have all the small lots, bottle in bonds and cask strengths. The regular EG and PD aren’t my favorites. But the regular lost monarch is one of my favorite daily drinkers. I give out samples all the time here in Oklahoma to spread the word!
I agree the Emerald Giant is a solid choice. I have the Rocket Top BIB Straight Rye and the Grizzly Beast BIB Bourbon as well. I like them equally as good and the Grizzly a bit better than the regular bourbon. I think the higher proof gives it the little extra I was looking for.
Nice review! My local grocery store sells the core lineup for 32.00, my store owner friend sells me the cask strengths for 52.00 and the Devils Tower, Grizzly Beast, etc. was 55.00 his cost! I’m a buyer and a fan of Redwood Empire products!
@@jacksmith2315 yeah the cask strength here is 100.00 but I get his cost on certain bottles. Like Booker’s 72.00, Little Book 7 92.00, ECBP 55.00, Larceny BP 41.00 the bottles he sells a lot of quickly he gives me his cost on them but only one unless I really like it.
Emerald Giant Cask Strength was my first - absolutely love it! The Lost Monarch at 90 proof is wonderful! The Pipe Dream at 90 proof is very nice but would be much better at the cask strength (I've not yet had the pleasure)! Be on the lookout for a 10-year Redwood Empire! I saw it once and passed on it at $97. I'm kicking myself for missing out!
Really enjoy the RE line up. How about y’all do a $35 Rye blind? RE Rye - Green River Rye - High West Double Rye - Sazerac Rye. Just to toss ya a few that’d be in the ballpark. 😁 Enjoy watching your channel. I grew up in Indiana roughly 45 mins east of you. Just off US 30.
I’ve had everything except Screaming Titan. Now for a really unique taste and nose experience, the Foggy Burl. Finish the glass of it don’t rinse it. Then pour in a small portion of Glenmorangie Forest. Phenomenal excellence
I found a bottle of the Rocket Top Bib Rye last year. I believe their Bib stuff is all their own juice, nothing sourced. At any rate, I enjoyed it a lot. Have not tried any of their other offerings yet.
When a lot of people started raving about the Lost Monarch, I bought a bottle but just didn’t care for it. It had an off-putting note on the finish I didn’t enjoy. I haven’t tried any of the other expressions or cask strength options though, so I can only be so critical. Need to find a tasting bar that has the lineup to help me try before I buy again!
I apparently had the same experience as Trenton with my first bottle of RE. I purchased an Emerald Giant when they first became available in FL. Paid a lot more than $ 35.00. It was one of several bottles I picked up for a family gathering. The consensus was to use it to clean the floor ( tasted like what we believed Pinesol would taste like, harsh chemical notes ). No one would drink it or take it home, went down the sink. I will give them a second chance now based on this review. Thank you guys, as always
Do keep at it. The Single Malt, High Rye and Cask Strength are world class. I had the same issue with Pipe Dream as my first RE but have found their special products are amazing.
Might want to check those mash bills… I believe pipe dream is a 4 grain, the emerald giant is a 3 grain rye (small percentage of wheat). The BIB bourbon and rye are their “juice.” Haven’t had any of the special releases yet, but I am looking forward to the Devil’s tower.
The screaming Titan is the only Redwood Empire I own or tasted. Imo, it is good. Just not $80 good. Makers 46 c.s. f.o. is a bit cheaper and better. But I find it better than Green River. I think the proof point makes all the difference for wheated Bourbon. Great video. Cheers
Out of these I go Emerald giant then pipe dream and last place and not sure I’ll ever buy another is lost monarch. Still trying to find their bib. The limited versions are something I most likely won’t ever find. Unless I order directly from RW. And they have some of the best labels in the whiskey world. Enjoy!!
Pipe Dream has become my favorite, and go to, bottle. It’s delicious,complex, and affordable. Unfortunately finding the cask strength stuff has been impossible here in S.Florida and I’ve been reluctant to order it from somewhere online (mainly because it ends up being $100+) but ufff I want to try those (CS Pipe Dream and Lost Monarch) so badly
I'm a big pipe dream fan. I also wasn't that big of a fan of the bourye. I seem there on sale for $32 often and local grocery storea and I never pass that price up.
Lost Monarch is my daily. Unfortunately, they retail for $50 in my state. When I take a trip out of state, I'll always pick up all 3 of their core bottles for $35 each. Still Austin straight bourbon would also be my daily but I have to go even further to get a bottle.
I love the Redwood Empire lineup. And their bottle art is so excellent. Wasn't mentioned, but Redwood Empire is sort of like Newman's Own. The owner of a huge California Winery owns Redwood Empire and then donates all the proceeds from the their whiskey to save the redwoods. Good whiskey and a great cause!
That is some great info. Thank you!
Thanks for that information. I will pick some up!
I did not know that ... thanks for filling us in. I'll direct more of my business to them ... which is not a hardship 😉
That on its own would be worth buying it.
Where are you reading this? They only state that they partnered with organizations to commit to "planting a tree for every bottle sold" I haven't seen or heard anywhere else that they donate all proceeds.
Woah! What a great review, really appreciate the support!
Love everything I've had from you guys so far, but I have to go out of state to get it. Do you have any plans to ship to Pennsylvania?
Bring your stuff to Montana, sick of having to drive to find it! 😂
You’re cask strength pipe dream is the truth guys. Soooo good. Gimme an IV drip
Discovered Redwood Empire about 6months ago from another bourbon channel, and Lost Monarch instantly became my daily drinker…..just LOVE it. Was lucky enough to pick up a bottle of their Emerald Giant Rye Cask Strength….its my favorite bottle I have! Never had anything I didn’t love from these guys.
Lost Monarch is currently my favorite sipper. I killed the first bottle in under a week and went back to the store to buy 2 more. I love it.
The names of the Redwood Empire releases are names of Redwood trees. The coordinates of the tree are listed on the label. I like their products especially at the price.

Their Bottled in Bonds are perfect for my pallete. Also love the transparency for all their information about their whiskey so I’m a supporter
The bottle graphics are a huge improvement! Thx!

Currently sipping the Redwood Empire's - Grizzly Beast bourbon. Bought it on a blind buy and so far not disappointed.
I agree, Emerald Giant is one of my favorite Ryes on the market
Pipe dream cast strength was my first introduction to the Redwood Empire and love it.
I just finished by bottle of Grizzly Beast, batch 3. Loved it.
Love the on screen graphics!! Helps a ton to keep track of what you guys are talking about.
The new editing style is awesome yall!!!
Love the closeups and names and bottle pics in the corner! GREAT JOB!!!

I love pipedream, great bottle. Especially when introducing it to a friend!
I haven't tried any of the core line-up yet, but I picked up the bottled in bond rye and bourbon a while back. I love both of them. Last weekend, I found Foggy Burl in a local store.

Foggy Burl was excellent. Very unique on the palate
Lost Monarch is wonderful. Always love having a bottle. Haven’t had the rye or bourbon.

The cask strengths are Incredible... Looking forward to trying the haystack Trenton mentioned!
@Trenton - my local bar has a 15 year haystack series - only $15 a pour! Looking forward to trying it soon.
I’ve tried their core bottles and one of the barrel-strength bottles, but not the special releases.
Thanks for the awesome intro to RE! I have been reluctant to try any of these because I just hadn't read or heard much about them. Think I might try RE now!
Love everything that Redwood Empire puts out.
A piece of trivia that is cool about the Redwood line is that each release is named after an actual redwood tree.
I haven't had one from them I don't like yet and the cask strength pipe dream for me is great.
They really are great. I tried 8 different samples a few months ago and everyone was banger. I have a rule that if I try any 3 offerings from a distillery and like all 3, I’ll buy ANYTHING they offer. This is one distillery that just hits on all cylinders.
I've loved everything I've tried from these guys so far!
I have only had Lost Monarchy and really like it. I’d like to try their cask strength bottles next.
Grizzly is my fave of theirs that I’ve had, the cask strength lost monarch is also great
Get ready for Batch 004 of Grizzly ;) it's our best yet!
Great video. Regarding their bottle names, all their whiskey is named after different redwood trees. Pretty cool.
Can’t believe didn’t catch onto that, what a smart and interesting gimmick. Thanks for this, hopefully we can use this to help speculate what they’ll come up with next
Just recieved my jack 12 year, absolutely amazing. Hands down delicious and worth the secondary.
I've had Pipe Dream and Lost Monarch. Lost Monarch wins for me. I need to re-visit them because I haven't had any for a couple months
Been on the RE train for a couple of years and haven't found a person yet that I gave some PipeDream to that they didn't love it. Can't go wrong with any of their products.

I'm a total Redwood Empire fan. I agree with Trenton that they need a Bottled in Bond. Both Emerald Giant bottles are my favorite. Can't wait to try Rocket Top.
Grizzly beast and rocket top are both bottled and bond. He was just saying there should be a third because the 3 in the core line-up and the 3 cask strength, so there should be 3 BiB as well.
I just picked up both the Screaming Titan and a Pipe Dream Cask Strength. Haven’t cracked them yet, so this review is perfect timing for me.
I got a first release of the Foggy Burl. IT. IS. AMAZING. Huge chocolate mocha notes with really smooth finish. Typically not my flavor profile, but this one draws be back. I vote the "Grizzly" as my second favorite.
If you like Foggy Burl, finish it an don’t rinse the glass. Then proceed to pour a little Glenmorangie Forest in. It evokes and evolves the nose and palate so much. It was a happy accident. Grabbed the wrong glass and hot damn was the best thing ever
Devil’s Tower is such a good pour. My favorite high rye bourbon
enjoying the Redwood Empire line up, especially the new screaming titans. With a proof point of less than a 100, is packed with flavor
It may be a little off topic but you mentioned some American Single Malts not being up to par. If you can get the Town Branch 7yr ASM, I highly recommend it. I'd love to try the Redwood Empire one but it was so allocated where I am I couldn't get it anywhere. Great video as usual. Cheers!
Pipe dream cask strength is frigging awesome
Similar concept to Olde Raleigh in NC. Great whiskies.
Lost monarch was my gateway into the redwood lineup. I now have all the small lots, bottle in bonds and cask strengths. The regular EG and PD aren’t my favorites. But the regular lost monarch is one of my favorite daily drinkers. I give out samples all the time here in Oklahoma to spread the word!
The Devil's Tower changes alot once it opens up. Wasn't sure I liked it first try but after some time open it really had a fantastic sweetness to it.
Love the new graphics!
Great video. I always enjoy you two talking about bourbons and ryes. I must get a Redwood Empire and try it.
This is one of my favorite Distilleries. I’ve got the base trio, the 2 BIB and 2 of the cask strengths. Still searching for the Pipedream CS
Have only had Monarch and Pipe Dreams...both were amazing! Currently out of stock in my house...but next on the list to be replenished!
Love Redwood Empire. I have their 8 core bottles. So good!!
I agree the Emerald Giant is a solid choice. I have the Rocket Top BIB Straight Rye and the Grizzly Beast BIB Bourbon as well. I like them equally as good and the Grizzly a bit better than the regular bourbon. I think the higher proof gives it the little extra I was looking for.
Nice review! My local grocery store sells the core lineup for 32.00, my store owner friend sells me the cask strengths for 52.00 and the Devils Tower, Grizzly Beast, etc. was 55.00 his cost! I’m a buyer and a fan of Redwood Empire products!
Wow thats really cheap considering the cask strength and BiBs are $80 and the newer releases ive seen for $80-100
@@jacksmith2315 yeah the cask strength here is 100.00 but I get his cost on certain bottles. Like Booker’s 72.00, Little Book 7 92.00, ECBP 55.00, Larceny BP 41.00 the bottles he sells a lot of quickly he gives me his cost on them but only one unless I really like it.
Rocket Top is a great sip, but costs $209 Aussie dollars (about $137 US). I love the videos you make, keep it up it’s awesome.
Emerald Giant Cask Strength was my first - absolutely love it! The Lost Monarch at 90 proof is wonderful! The Pipe Dream at 90 proof is very nice but would be much better at the cask strength (I've not yet had the pleasure)!
Be on the lookout for a 10-year Redwood Empire! I saw it once and passed on it at $97. I'm kicking myself for missing out!
Really enjoy the RE line up. How about y’all do a $35 Rye blind?
RE Rye - Green River Rye - High West Double Rye - Sazerac Rye. Just to toss ya a few that’d be in the ballpark. 😁
Enjoy watching your channel. I grew up in Indiana roughly 45 mins east of you. Just off US 30.
I’ve had everything except Screaming Titan. Now for a really unique taste and nose experience, the Foggy Burl. Finish the glass of it don’t rinse it. Then pour in a small portion of Glenmorangie Forest. Phenomenal excellence
Picked up lost monarch a couple weeks ago. It might be my favorite bottle.
Haven't had a bad bottle yet. In my area prices have gone down as inventory has gone up. Good juice!
I found a bottle of the Rocket Top Bib Rye last year. I believe their Bib stuff is all their own juice, nothing sourced. At any rate, I enjoyed it a lot. Have not tried any of their other offerings yet.
I have the Pipe Dreams and I am looking for a backup I love it
Love their cask strength bourbon
When a lot of people started raving about the Lost Monarch, I bought a bottle but just didn’t care for it. It had an off-putting note on the finish I didn’t enjoy.

Pipe Dreams and Pipe Dreams Cask Strength are always opened and on my shelf.. LOVE IT!!!!
Would sure like to see a review on garrisons
One of the best distilleries outside of Kentucky. Great rye.
Out of these I go Emerald giant then pipe dream and last place and not sure I’ll ever buy another is lost monarch. Still trying to find their bib. The limited versions are something I most likely won’t ever find. Unless I order directly from RW. And they have some of the best labels in the whiskey world. Enjoy!!
Is it possible to have a bottled in bond bourye?
I definitely need to add some of these bottles to my whisky cabinet!
Rocket top is my favorite. Great rye.
Trenton and Kurton with the empire review!
Redwood empire has some good stuff. That pipe dream cask strength is the business. That wheater looks interesting
I have the three Cask Strength and the Grizzly Beast. I haven't opened them yet, but will soon.
Pipe Dream was my first proper bourbon! It was great.
Only knock on RE is their bottles. They are slightly taller than most and get relegated to the top shelf. Marketing strategy?
Cask Strength Emerald Giant is just fantastic. I've gotta find that Pipe Dream cask strength too.
If you could only get one between the Van Duzen, Devil's Tower and Screaming Titan, which would you recommend?
Whoa, those bottles flying around the screen is trippin me out man! Lol. Wasn't expecting that.
I love their rye
We love the Pipe Dream at my house.
In my top 5 bourbons.
Pipe Dream has become my favorite, and go to, bottle. It’s delicious,complex, and affordable. Unfortunately finding the cask strength stuff has been impossible here in S.Florida and I’ve been reluctant to order it from somewhere online (mainly because it ends up being $100+) but ufff I want to try those (CS Pipe Dream and Lost Monarch) so badly
The fancy motion graphics! Settle down there Michael Bay! (jk it's rad)
I'm on the Kurt train. I have to try a bottle as soon as I can.
I'm a big pipe dream fan. I also wasn't that big of a fan of the bourye. I seem there on sale for $32 often and local grocery storea and I never pass that price up.
Looks like something changed about emerald giant since your bottle: the mash bill on their site is 92R/5MB/3W.
Might explain the price difference too
when you say "minerality", can you expound on that? do you mean salty?
Lost Monarch is my daily. Unfortunately, they retail for $50 in my state. When I take a trip out of state, I'll always pick up all 3 of their core bottles for $35 each. Still Austin straight bourbon would also be my daily but I have to go even further to get a bottle.
I need to go try that screaming titan
