Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Proof 101
Review
The California distillery sources the four grains in this bourbon from local Sacramento Valley farms to produce this whiskey blended from barrels in the 5- to 15-year-range. It’s fruity on the nose, a bit tropical, with hints of bubble gum and German weizenbock beer (think: Aventinus). The palate offers gingerbread cookies, chai lattes, and whiskey sour notes. The finish is a bit grainy and agricultural, but complex and rewarding.
