This was really tasty and a big step up in flavor and depth over the regular giant. Highly recommended and a great value when you can find it.

About this bottle
This is the second cask strength release of Redwood Empire's Emerald Giant, one of three core whiskeys in the brand's portfolio. Emerald Giant is a blended straight rye offering and here three different grains make up its recipe — 94% rye, 5% malted barley and 1% wheat. The ryes featured here were aged in 53-gallon, char #3 barrels for a minimum of four years and up to 7 years. Since they were aged in the California fog belt, the cask strength proof of 116.4 is lower than many other such offerings of similar makeup. Cask Strength Emerald Giant is available at select retailers nationwide as of May 2023. (SRP $70)

Minty rye, lime oil, burnt figs, muted vanilla oak. Slightly dry finish. Oily, easy drinker. Mild but lingering finish.

Terrific rye with a gingerbread finish. 116 proof which i find to be a sweet spot. Some apple pie notes on the palate.
