- Redwood Empire Whiskey Is one of my favorites. With the new Small Lot Series, there are 10 offerings in the lineup on shelfs now. Well, which one is the best? I can tell you my opinion, OR I can just do it blind!
*I didn't include Haystack Needle. There are too many varieties and they're too hard to find!!

This video style of taking a whole lineup was perfect!!! Great advice and inspiring me to try the same soon!!
All those bottles look so good on display!
I have most of those in my collection, but not all. I love that you did this. Cheers
Great review! Can't go wrong with any of the Redwood Empires. Would be interesting to see another 2nd take on these. Cheers!
I have both #1 and #2 on my shelf gotta say Emerald Giant the regular is my favorite next to pipe dream great video ✌🏿
Not surprised that the ryes are in the top 5, they most definitely slay. Great job with the video! No doubt tomorrow would yield different results... it's crazy how hydration, prior meals, your mood, etc. can impact the taste of whiskey on a given day. This was definitely fun to watch. Solid work sir!
It was fun to do, but you nailed it on the variables. It's hard to place too much weight on these types of big tastings, but they're always interesting. It's definitely not the order I would have guessed.
Man, now I REALLY regret grabbing the Pipe Dream CS for Christmas over the Emerald Giant CS. GREAT video!
Love your love for redwood. Same here. Lost monarch is always my #1 but foggy is a close second for sure. Great video
Thanks 👍
Blinds are really fun, but they're not absolute gospel. The problem with doing so many whiskeys is your palate gets blown out pretty quickly, especially when you have cask strengths & barrel proofs. The one you drink before will influence the next, and subsequently those down the line. Though, they're a very fun experiment that can have really surprising results, but don't think these results are an absolute indicator of better/favoritism. Some seem to think so like it's completely objective, but it can't be if your palate is influenced by what you had before. There's also something to sitting with a single bottle and enjoying its nuances on its own when assessing it.
Solid comment! 👍🥃
Great video. Love the long format.
Thank you!
Cool video !
My first bottle of whiskey was based on your recommendation of pipe
Dream
Really excited to try another whiskey from redwood empire
Thanks for commenting! 👍🥃
I do love and enjoy Redwood Empire. Pipe Dream and Lost Monarch are my favorites in their lineup. I want to get the Foggy Burl, Emerald Giant and Grizzly Beast
As you said tomorrow you’d have a different outcome. I really enjoy Redwood and the rye is my favorite. Enjoy!!
Yeah emerald Giant CS is incredible. It also has this good Forresty note that literally reminds me of the Redwood forest. It's more complex though and that note only lasts a small second. Probably my 3rd favorite rye overall
I wish I could find all of those in my area. So far really just the standard offerings. I love Lost Monarch and is one of my regular go tos. I hope I can come across a LM CS one of these days soon!
Emerald Giant Cask Strength is always a 10/10. It's just so unique. Also love the longer vids! I know you have to compete against YT's absurd algorithm but this was nice.
Thank you! Thanks for taking a minute to comment. 🥃
Thank you for turning me on to Pipe Dream. That's become my new favorite nightly sipper.
Cheers! 🥃
No way, devil’s tower is absolute fire.
Emerald Giant CS is no suprise #1 It is a beast, incredible it only carries a 4yr age statement. The only Rye I have that beats it is 2020 T.H.Handy sooo...
Well said!
Don't really watch your videos, but I have all of those except for the devils tower and foggy burl. And honestly, your list is pretty spot on.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Sounds like I need to try the Emerald Giant again and also grab the Cask Strength. I remember it being a very rye forward rye and I have not had the Cask strength yet. I really love the Lost Monarch Cask Strength for special occasions or when I want High proof.
Awesome video! I just saw where Redwood Empire will be releasing the Screaming Titan, a 96 Proof Wheated Bourbon. Looking forward to that! Love all of the Redwood Empire, but just had the Devil’s Tower, and is fantastic. 🥃
Thank you! Yes, Screaming Titan will be out Late Feb-Early March. I'm looking forward to that one!
The on RE product I've had I don't really enjoy is their basic Pipe Dream. love the CS pipe dream though. I'd be interested to do this same comparison, if I can get the Foggy Burl.
Awesome video, really entertaining lol. Finally seen RE bottles in store & grabbed Emerald Giant. Its great & for the price, its hard to beat it.
Thank you! 🥃
Too many good choices! 😂 Big fan of Emerald Giant and Pipedream CS. These are readily available in the DFW are just not a fan of their $80-100 price.
Would love to see a blind of their CS’s, their bonded, LE’s and reg line. Then maybe a best of. Your taste buds are confusing your brain! 😜😂😂
Great review!
Thank you!
So hard to do with all ten in a short format. Plus, all the glasses should be the same style 😉 Love all the Redwood Empire releases I’ve tried. I don’t have the single malt or Emerald Giant CS. Will grab them all to try this challenge as well. Great video 👊🥃
Thank you! Thanks for commenting
Very cool blind! I'm not a big rye fan, but I really love the Pipe Dream and even enjoy the Lost Monarch. I would love to find a cask strength Pipe Dream or even a Grizzly Beast. I've never done a blind with more than 5 (and I prefer 4), I can't imagine trying to blind 10 different whiskies at once. Well done, very fun video.
Thank you! Yeah, 10 is too many. I won't be doing that many again. 😂
In a few weeks I’ll finally get to try some Redwood Empire. Despite it coming in 10th, I know how much you love Pipe Dream so I’m super excited to try it. The struggles of being a bourbon drinker in Australia! 😅
Have you seen anything from Redwood in Australia? Please let me know if you do! Whiskeybonded@gmail.com
Just found a Grizzly Beast batch 3. First time ever finding Grizzly Beast. Can't wait to try it once I finish a bottle and make room for it lol.
Me too man got it from Total wine the day it appeared. Love the cask strength pipe dream for sure cant wait to compare imo
Awesome to see this lineup and strangely I had Emerald Giant CS in a black manhattan tonight. I have the entire lineup as well (fan boy) so I’ll have to try the same tasting. A little birdy told me their limited release Wheated called Screaming Titan may be on the way so you can add that to the round 2.
It's bottling next month and due in late Feb or early March. That's straight from the source! I can't wait.
The only bottle of Redwood Empire we can find in Ontario, Canada is the Emerald Giant and it is great but expensive! Was almost $85CDN, went on clearance for $64 CDN so I grabbed a couple. Such a nice, everyday drinking rye.
can get the regular EG for $26us, which makes it a heck of a bargain and the best Rye for the price out there.
Great job on the video! I'm a little surprised how it turned out. You should do it again but use your fancy hydrogen water to cleanse next time 😁
🤔 Hmmmm. That's some science! I'd need a lab coat like @brewzle
Just got my first redwood. #10 pipe dream
That's a good place to start! 🥃
I was a little dissapointed in Pipe Dream TBH and it's kept me from buying any other RE products but after watching this I may try a couple others.
Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Cask Strength so delicious. It’s the best of cask strength!
I haven't tried any RE rye bottles. I've tried to get into ryes but they just aren't for me, and I've tried all the ones that are "bourbon friendly." The CS pipe dream is delicious and will keep a spot on the shelf for it. I have Grizzly batch 3 on the shelf that I should open and try.
Good video man.
Thank you!
Appreciate you trying to be a bit more objective about your taste this time, would totally watch another one where you are favoring your own subjective taste. Many factors go into how someone feels or experiences a bottle and it’s not always going to taste the same!
Holy smokes 🥃🇺🇸🌲
You should do a Barrell blind rank!
Great idea. 👍🥃
I don't see the Haystack Needle 14? I have all of them including the Haystack, myself. Obviously I enjoy Redwood Empire.
I have a Haystack and it's so good, but too hard to find and they vary to much to put in here. It would likely win though. Maybe. 🤔🥃
I don’t care if this shit comes from Sonoma, California it’s the best bang for the buck
👍🥃
call me a redwoodempire fanboy, I haven't had anything from them I don't like. Now saying that I haven't had the Foggy Burl or Devil's Tower yet but I'm sure it's great
For being Mr. Redwood Empire you seemed very lost haha. I do love your stuff.
Thank you! 10 at once is just too much. 😂
We get it dude youre sponsored
They don't even send me full sized bottles! 😂🤣🤷😞
This proves at least that you prefer high rye or rye than traditional bourbon mash
It's odd, because I would say that's not the case. On this day, it definitely was true!! Blinds are always unpredictable. 🥃
Incredibly Hard to rank 10 bottle in this format. Im surprised the Ryes took the a Top 3, but still not a Rye Guy.
Very hard!! I would say I'm still picky about rye, but this is starting to make me question my preferences and what I reach for most often. 👍🥃
No Screaming Titan..?
Did this one before it was released! 🤔👍
Are you gonna finish all the bourbon in the glasses or throw them out??
I finish them...with a little help from my wife. 😁
You kept saying you were trying to be subjective, I think you meant objective
Yes, your right. 👍🥃
How much is worth a pay for the Batch 1 single malt? Saw a local store have it for 99.99 (111 after tax)
That's about what they cost. They released them online today too... Same price. 👍🥃
