This distinguished single barrel bourbon from Redwood Empire represents the Haystack Needle expression at its finest. Aged for 8 years and 7 months, this barrel-proof bourbon showcases remarkable depth and character at 119.4 proof.
Tasting Profile: Crafted from a high-corn mash bill (72% corn, 18% rye, 5% wheat, 5% malted barley), this bourbon delivers a sweeter, smoother profile with layers of caramel, vanilla, and baking spice. The elevated corn content creates a rich, creamy mouthfeel balanced by just enough rye spice to keep things interesting.
This extended aging period has allowed the bourbon to develop exceptional complexity and smoothness. Each bottle captures the unique character of this individual barrel - a testament to Redwood Empire's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
