The story behind it

The maker

Redwood Empire was founded in Sonoma County with a commitment to creating craft whiskeys inspired by the majestic local redwood forests. For every bottle of Redwood Empire whiskey sold, the distillery partners with Trees for the Future to plant a new tree, marrying fine craft distillation with environmental conservation.

How it is made

Redwood Empire is distilled and aged in Sonoma County, California, where the unique coastal climate and temperature swings accelerate the barrel interaction. The whiskey is aged in a combination of charred oak barrels to draw out deep, sweet compounds and complex oak spices.
