Redwood Empire The Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon Small Batch 750 ml

Redwood Empire "The Colonel Armstrong" is a wheated bourbon from Redwood Empire Whiskey in California, named for Colonel James Armstrong, the Union soldier credited with helping preserve California's ancient redwood forests. It's a four-grain mash — 59% corn, 30% wheat, 6% rye, and 5% malted barley — blending sourced Kentucky and Indiana bourbons aged four to fourteen years with the distillery's own grain-to-glass whiskey, bottled at 47% ABV with no single age statement. The heavy wheat percentage softens the mid-palate into a rounded, creamy texture, with confectionery sweetness and berry fruit running through it. Redwood Empire's bottles carry coordinates to a 1,400-year-old redwood bearing the Colonel's name. Pour it neat or over one large cube.

How to drink Redwood Empire Colonel Armstrong

The high wheat content makes this an easy sipper — try it neat first to catch the berry and confectionery sweetness before adding ice. It's soft enough to work in a wheated-bourbon Old Fashioned, where it won't fight the sugar and bitters for attention.
