Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Cask Strength

The uncut, unapologetic big brother to the standard Lost Monarch release. This Cask Strength expression takes the same award-winning blend of straight bourbon and straight rye and bottles it completely unadulterated at a blistering 58.6% ABV (117.2 proof). The higher proof dramatically intensifies the rich, syrupy sweetness of the bourbon components while allowing the bright, peppery spice of the rye to punch completely through the rich, heavy oak.

NOSE

Intense and heavily aromatic. Bold waves of dark caramel, toasted pecans, heavy barrel char, and dark fruit.

PALATE

Thick, viscous, and full-bodied. A massive rush of rich toffee and vanilla cream is quickly met by a fiery, warming wave of black pepper and cinnamon spice.

FINISH

Exceptionally long, deeply warming, and satisfying with lingering dark chocolate and sweet wood.
