On Tuesday, California whiskey distillery Redwood Empire announced a second allocation of the Redwood Empire cask strength range.
Redwood Empire first released its cask strength whiskeys in October, and the brand says it was inspired to follow up with a second launch due to the “overwhelming success of the inaugural release.”
The brand has increased the volume for this second launch.
“Cask strength represents the best of what spirits have to offer,” head distiller Lauren Patz said in a news release. “Buying whiskey at cask strength empowers drinkers to explore the breadth that the spirit provides.”
Redwood Empire’s cask strength collection comprises cask strength iterations of the brand’s Pipe Dream Bourbon, Emerald Giant Rye and Lost Monarch, a blend of bourbon and rye.
Each expression is available for a limited time from Redwood Empire’s online shop and select retailers across the U.S.
