Redwood Empire Lost Monarch | Sonoma County Straight Whiskey Blend

A Masterful "Bourye" Blend of Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskey

Redwood Empire Lost Monarch is a highly acclaimed "blend of straights" hailing from the mist-covered forests of Sonoma County, California. As the name suggests, this expression is a tribute to the "Lost Monarch," the world’s largest coastal redwood tree by volume.

This whiskey is famously a "spirit of two sides," created by expertly blending straight bourbon and straight rye whiskeys. By marrying the sweetness of corn with the bold spice of rye, Redwood Empire has achieved a perfectly balanced profile that offers the best of both worlds. It is an approachable yet complex whiskey that has become a staple for fans of unique American blends.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and indulgent, leading with aromas of chocolate mousse and deeply toasted caramel. A subtle, underlying layer of peppery rye spiciness provides a sophisticated aromatic counterpoint.

Palate: The palate is creamy and full-bodied, featuring heavy vanilla and the comforting sweetness of buttered corn. These bourbon-forward notes are bolstered by warming wood spices and a distinct grain character.

Finish: A decadent finish reminiscent of toffee ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. Lingering notes of cinnamon and a touch of dry, elegant oak round out the experience.

Key Features and Heritage

The "Bourye" Blend: A meticulous combination of 4-to-12-year-old bourbon and 3-to-5-year-old rye whiskeys.
Complex Mash Bill: The blend utilizes a diverse range of grains, including 60% Rye (from the rye component) and high-corn content (from the bourbon component), resulting in a multifaceted flavor profile.
Sonoma County Maturation: Aged in the cool, humid climate of Northern California, which encourages a gentle and steady maturation.
Sustainable Craft: For every bottle of Lost Monarch sold, Redwood Empire partners with Trees for the Future to plant a tree, honoring its namesake.

Serving Recommendation

Because of its unique balance, Lost Monarch is exceptionally versatile. It is robust enough to serve as the base for an Old Fashioned, where the chocolate and toffee notes pair beautifully with bitters. However, many enthusiasts prefer it neat or with a splash of water, which helps to unlock the delicate balance between the creamy vanilla and the spicy rye finish.
