Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye 70cl

Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye | Sonoma County Straight Rye Whiskey

A High-Rye Expression Named After the World's Fastest Growing Redwood Tree

Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye is a bold and spicy whiskey crafted in the heart of Sonoma County, California. Taking its name from the legendary "Emerald Giant"—the fastest-growing redwood tree in the world—this rye whiskey reflects that same sense of scale and natural power.

Produced by the Redwood Empire distillery, this expression is defined by its high-rye mash bill, consisting of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. This specific ratio ensures an authentic rye experience, delivering the classic peppery bite and herbal complexity that enthusiasts crave, balanced by a smooth, grain-forward sweetness.
