SINGLE SEASON, SINGLE DISTILLERY This rare whiskey was bottled under the strict tenets of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Aged in the temperate climate of the Northern California coast, the original distillate was altered only by the addition of pure water from the Russian River Valley and aquifer. This is the purest expression of Redwood Empire's craft. GRIZZLY BEAST The Redwood Empire stretched from the San Francisco to Humboldt Bay and on the Oregon border. The region is home to majestic coasta; redwoods, some more than 2,000 years old. The name GRIZZLY BEAST is a combination of two trees; The Grizzly Giant, a giant Sequoia located in Yosemite National Park that has over two billion leaves, and the Mattole Beast, a massive 375-foot coastal redwood located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. AGED FOR FIVE YEARS

… this high-rye bourbon offers bold almond aromas and light, relatively dry palate. Mellow hints of hops, chamomile tea and cigar wrapper wind into a light, slightly beer-like finish graced with grapefruit peel and ginger.
Aromas and flavors of cinnamon Bavarian roasted nuts, chocolate on bananas foster … With a rich, dark, and earthy sweetness, lovely cinnamon spice, and a touch of fruit, this is a Whiskey to sip slowly and ponder.
Robitussin and grape jelly on the nose; these dark fruit flavors are buttressed by hints of licorice and tropical notes, particularly pineapple. … Lovely cinnamon spice on the richly textured finish, plus some luscious fruit notes and milk chocolate sweetness.
All manners of orange are here, with orange peel, Creamsicle, and a hint of orange soda right up front. … The palate is creamy, and that tangy, zesty citrus carries on …
The nose presents with light vanilla notes, a touch of caramel and fruits like cherry and tart apple come through as well. … The barrel spices are lively with cinnamon and allspice.
The aroma of the bourbon is a mix of black cherry and dried herbs along with a touch of vanilla and toasted oak. … A fairly balanced flavor overall for this 5 year-old bourbon.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
