Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon | Sonoma County Straight Bourbon Whiskey

A Creamy and Complex California Bourbon Inspired by the Giants of the Forest

Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon is a flagship expression from the acclaimed Sonoma County distillery. This "straight bourbon whiskey" is named after the Pipe Dream tree, the 14th tallest living tree on Earth. Just as its namesake towers over the forest floor, this bourbon stands tall in the world of American craft spirits, offering a profile that is both exceptionally smooth and structurally complex.

Crafted with a high-corn mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, Pipe Dream strikes a beautiful balance between the rich, creamy sweetness of a traditional bourbon and the invigorating "flash" of toasty rye spice. Aged for a minimum of four years in the temperate climate of Northern California, it delivers a mature character that rivals many older Kentucky counterparts.

Tasting Notes

Nose: An aromatic and inviting bouquet featuring bright orange peel and rich honeycomb. Deep layers of brown sugar and nutmeg are grounded by the scent of seasoned dry oak.

Palate: The mouthfeel is notably creamy and nutty, with distinct flavours of roasted almond and walnut. This develops into sweet notes of toffee popcorn and smooth milk chocolate, all balanced by a gentle crack of black peppercorn.

Finish: A long, evocative finish with hints of maple syrup and tangy orange marmalade, rounded out by a sophisticated touch of aromatic cedar wood.

Key Features and Heritage

High-Rye Bourbon Profile: The 21% rye content provides a sophisticated spicy backbone that prevents the spirit from being overly sweet.
Sonoma County Maturation: The cool, coastal air of Northern California allows the bourbon to age gracefully, extracting rich vanilla and oak notes without excessive tannin.
Award-Winning Craft: Part of the Redwood Empire core collection, celebrated for its consistency and high-quality "straight" distillation process.
Tree-Planting Commitment: In honour of the Pipe Dream redwood, the distillery plants one tree for every bottle sold, supporting global reforestation efforts.

Serving Recommendation

Pipe Dream is an incredibly versatile bourbon. Its creamy texture and nutty palate make it a delight to enjoy neat or with a few drops of water to open up the maple and cedar notes. For cocktail enthusiasts, its robust proof and spicy rye kick make it an ideal base for a Whiskey Sour or a Boulevardier, where its chocolate and orange notes can truly shine.
