Redwood Empire Grizzly Beast Bottled In Bond Bourbon

Redwood Empire Grizzly Beast Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon is produced at Redwood Empire Whiskey in Windsor, Sonoma County, California — meeting the strict requirements of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897: distilled at a single distillery in a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). The BiB designation is the oldest quality standard in American whiskey, predating even the Federal Standards of Identity for Bourbon.

Redwood Empire’s production in Sonoma County uses local California grains where possible. The Grizzly Beast mashbill is corn-forward with a high rye content, producing a bolder, spicier profile than the wheated Lost Monarch blend. At BiB 100 proof, the rye character comes through assertively — more so than at standard 80-proof bottling strength.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rye spice, caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. Palate: Bold and assertive at 100 proof — dark fruit, cinnamon, rye grain, and oak tannin. Finish: Long and warming with persistent spice.
