Redwood Empire Foggy Burl Single Malt Whiskey - Small Lot Series

Introducing Redwood Empire Foggy Burl, a California Single Malt Whiskey from the celebrated Small Lot Series by Redwood Empire Distillery. This exceptionally rare whiskey is crafted using a 100% malted barley mash bill comprised of 12 distinct barley varieties, a composition as unique as the towering redwoods that inspire it.

Distilled grain-to-glass in Sonoma County, California, this limited release reflects over a decade of dedication—originating in 2016 and finally bottled as Batch 003 at 94 proof (47% ABV). The name "Foggy Burl" pays homage to the massive coastal redwoods of Humboldt County, with water sourced from the ancient fog-fed forest where the 342-foot tall tree stands as a symbol of strength and sustainability.

Thanks to the cool, temperate climate of Northern California, the aging process unfolds slowly and deliberately, resulting in a whiskey with exceptional balance, structure, and complexity.
