    Fun fact, John Muir was born & raised in “Dunbar” Scotland (my last name & direct family lineage) He is showcased & beloved all over the city of Dunbar + Scotland for his environmental causes. Plus the U.S park initiatives as you stated. Multiple reasons why i like the bottle design & the juice is pretty good 😊, on the hunt for all of these now 😂

    The rye is fantastic. It has a nice mix of chocolate, pumpernickel and spice. A very rich balanced juice.

    Great review. Interesting about the cask strength versions, agree that i would have looked forward to the Lost Monarch CS as i love the "regular" Lost Monarch. Will have to keep my eye out for the Emerald Giant CS. Keep up the great work!

    Great review thanks Jason. I’ll skip these and buy an older and more delicious JDBP, ECBP, OFBP etc. I’m not a fan of the regular Lost Monarch as it tasted young and spikey in flavor (sign of youth). If their regular expression doesn’t impress me their barrel strength certainly won’t either.

    I wonder if everyone has caught on to what you said yet. "Wheated". Is the non-cask strength wheated? None of the original Pipe Dream, Emerald Giant, or Lost Monarch have wheat in them. What does? Rocket Top and Grizzly Beast.

    • @LeatherDaddy97
      @LeatherDaddy97 Рік тому

      The current pipe dream has like 1% wheat or something from what i remember but i could be very wrong

    • @sugarkitty4777
      @sugarkitty4777 Рік тому +1

      I checked the Redwood Empire website just to make sure. The website says: Mash Bill: 75% Corn, 21% Raw Rye, 4% Malt Barley. There's no wheat there.

    I find it odd that the mash bills for the cask strength versions are slightly different than the regular versions. Neither of the originals has wheat in them. Not sure if the small percentage makes a huge difference, but I guess enough so they decided to add it. Wonder what the driver was behind that choice.
