Redwood Empire Cask Strength Emerald Giant is one of three limited edition bottlings featuring uncut and unfiltered whiskeys of the distillery's core portfolio. Emerald Giant is its 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 6 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 nationwide as of October 2022. (SRP $70)

Needs a littel water to show full potential. Transforms into a really nice sweet spearmint note with some lighter fruit. Great mouth feel, Decent finish and overall a nice rye.
