About this bottle
Barrel #2766 is another single-barrel release in Redwood Empire's Haystack Needle straight rye lineup, aged roughly eight years and two months at the distillery's Sonoma County, California facility. Like its siblings, it's built on a 90% rye, 5% wheat, 5% malted barley mash bill and matured in new American oak, bottled uncut at 118.4 proof as a California-exclusive single barrel. The rye grain drives most of the profile — dry spice and baking-clove notes over a base of toasted oak — with the high proof keeping the finish long and warming rather than sweet. A solid pick for rye fans who want the variation that comes from tasting one barrel instead of a blended batch.
How to drink Redwood Empire Haystack Rye Barrel #2766
Give it one ice cube or a few drops of water — at 118.4 proof it needs a little dilution to show its spice instead of just heat. Also works well built into a Manhattan for drinkers who want more rye backbone than a standard bottling gives.

Questions about this bottle
How should I drink a cask-strength single barrel rye?
Add a rock or a few drops of water — at 118.4 proof, a little dilution brings out the pepper and clove instead of just heat.
What's the mash bill on this barrel?
Barrel #2766 uses the same 90% rye, 5% wheat, 5% malted barley recipe as the rest of Redwood Empire's Haystack Needle rye line, matured in new American oak.
Is this a limited release?
Yes — it's a single barrel bottling sold as a California-exclusive, so the exact flavor varies barrel to barrel rather than matching a house-blended standard.
What cocktails work well with this rye?
It has enough spice and proof to anchor a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned for drinkers who want more rye backbone than a standard 90-proof bottling gives.
