Description
Redwood Empire The Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon is a high-wheat, four-grain bourbon that pays tribute to Colonel James Armstrong, whose legacy helped preserve California’s iconic redwood forests. This thoughtfully crafted expression blends Redwood Empire’s grain-to-glass whiskey with carefully selected high-wheat bourbons aged between 4 and 14 years, creating a remarkably soft and balanced whiskey. Bottled at 94 proof, it showcases a mash bill featuring an impressive 30% wheat for a rich, approachable character.
Creamy notes of honeyed grain, ripe stone fruit, vanilla, and gentle baking spices are complemented by subtle oak and a velvety mouthfeel. Whether enjoyed neat, over a large ice cube, or in an elevated whiskey cocktail, Colonel Armstrong offers an inviting profile that appeals to both longtime wheated bourbon fans and newcomers looking for a refined everyday sipper.
