Best Whiskeytube Channel. Your timing is freaking awesome. Just picked up a Grizzly Beast I bought in San Diego Yesterday. Just got home from our trip 2 hours ago, opened my phone and saw your thumbnail. Gonna pop the cork and drink along. Love your content.
Great Drinktrough! I really like their two Bottled in Bonds. The BiBs are all their own juice and I think that it shows the future of their distillery. I am looking for good things from Redwood. The base Rye is one of my everyday Ryes - at under $30 it is very good.
NICE! They also just released 2 new LE's this month. Redwood Empire is my favorite small distillery on the market. Great bang for buck bottles (at least in my area ~30 for entry bottles, ~65 for cask str, and ~75 on the BIB releases)
Appreciate these guys and enjoy their perspectives esp on these deep dives. It's unfortunate though, there's little to no interaction with viewers. Everything is 'liked' but not one response. What's up with that? There's 3 of you. Pretty easy to divide and conquer I'd think.
For a small producer with their own distillate, the Rocket Top is in my top two for ryes, the other one is Frey Ranch Rye. I think those two make exceptional products that will only get better over time.
Awesome Drinkthrough ™! We've had them here in Connecticut for the past 5 or 6 years so very familiar with them. They put out great products. I do find it strange that their own BiBs (really good interesting stuff) are priced a bit higher than the cask strength sourced line and wonder if they get to a fully self produced point that the value side will eventually take a hit. But for right now, it's hard to knock picking any of these up.
Funny video with the 3 characters.... Dillon thinks he's the man - and he clearly isn't!!! But his input is secondary, but cute. I'm a Sommelier, and Dillon is exactly what you don't want to be describing your products. It's important to be relatable and not a think I know it all. But Redwood empire is a fun producer that puts out a quality product and clearly states what they are trying to do with each product....and are very successful in doing so. Their profile doesnt match everyone's palate, so move along if it doesn't meet yours. Hits mine square !!!
This has generally not been available around me. Had a bottle of the base rye in CA last year, thought it was fair. Just got a bottled in bond Grizzly Beast locally but paid almost $100. Would like to see the rye.
You can deduct mashbill of unequal blends of different with a spreadsheet and a formula. Or just use equal parts of each component of each blend and you can easily find mashbills.
I agree that their ryes are superior. Rocket top is easily my favorite but I do really enjoy the standard lost monarch. All of their bourbons are mid though.
The pipe dream cask version removes the Tennessee distillate, I think that's what makes it worse than the original. These are bottles that need to air out a bit so we will see.
It's MGP juice unless they specifically say the contrary, last i heard anyways. I'm glad i found your channel. FOMO is blocked again. others have hyped all of these with irreverence for actual contemplation and sit down tastings. If you think you don't like something, sit with it. You just might dig into a note you do like. or learn to like it. But saying MEH is a big clue.
Batch 1 rocket was awesome and that Haystack series is a favorite of mine. Not a fan of batch 2 grizzly and all the CS stuff was just meh. Wondering what the Haystack bottle will taste like when you guys try it without running through all of those other bottles first.
I don’t think you guys gave it a proper go because you didn’t let it air out because that rye is really amazing once it opens up. Maybe you need to get the frother to it. The cask strength emerald giant.
These guys have horrible taste. I love all of these especially for the price point. I keep trying different bottles and keep coming back to redwood empire
Everyone loves these and I’m like huh? Don’t like this brand. I tried the Emerald Giant and it was not good. Tasted sharp for such a low proof, and unbalanced. Kinda like a botched batch of Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon (which is far superior). Bitter and medicinal…yes well described.
I'm confused on the hype of Redwood Empire. It was pushed on me and people says it's good, but I don't think I'll buy another bottle because every time I've tried it, I think it kinda sucks...🤷♀
Everyone loves these and I’m like huh? Don’t like this distiller. I tried the Emerald Giant and it was not good. Tasted sharp for such a low proof, and unbalanced. Kinda like a badly botched bottle of Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon (which is far superior). Bitter and medicinal…yes well described. Lost Monarch is a perfect example of the weakness of micro craft distillers. I don’t care if they source from elsewhere or they make their own stuff. Lost Monarch is not good.
My husband Robert Hawkins is the distiller. We watched this and thought it was pretty good and laughed alot.
These Drinkthroughs™️ (stop stealing) are the best spirits content of all time

I have the Batch 1 Rocket Top (rye, barley, wheat - no corn) and it is one of my favorite whiskies of all time.
Dutch, y’all need to invest in a pack of liquor pourer spouts already 😂
Another excellent Drinkthrough! Nicely done. Now....... Balvenie Drinkthrough I need it to live!!!!!

My husband is the distiller. I'll share this with him
Do a Kavalan Solist drinkthrough. Some of the best whisky I've had lately or ever to be honest.
been binge watching you guys and really dig the trifecta going on
Loved this show great up and coming distillery! Where is the RYE CONTENDER series?!?! 😝👍
Another drinkthrough so soon?? Christmas came early!
Love your channel! Love the drink throughs! I might pass on these though lol
I’m surprised that Jewel’s has not used a cheat sheet to say the end of the video’s last words. I’m proud of him. 🥺

Merry xmas everyoneee curiosity publicc!! ☃️🍻🥃👍👌✌️😎
And that would be Squid Game coming after you 20:33 😂😂

I agree. Loved the Rocket Top... their juice is great, it seems. Have you given Corbin Cash a try, speaking of CA ryes?
Awesome Drinkthrough ™!

I’m in New Jersey. Have found and bought redwood before
Right here at 35:25 is the reason we know Dutch isn't a surgeon 🤣
You can deduct mashbill of unequal blends of different with a spreadsheet and a formula. Or just use equal parts of each component of each blend and you can easily find mashbills.
Just finally found a bottle of Grizzly Beast batch 3, a five grain with the addition of triticale.
Did y'all try the port sibling from K&L? I thought the cab was fine.
Are little details being added with every new "angelic" Dillon picture? I literally just noticed, "stewed fruit" tatted on his forearm 💀🤣

Seems like the boys didn't really like Redwood Empire... owning the 5 RE BiB and CS bottles myself - I can't say they are wrong!
The Redwood Rye BiB by me is $78 (at 5 years, 100 proof). Rare Breed Rye is $59 (at blend of 4, 6, and 8 years; 112 proof).
I'm 95% certain the Tennessee component is not Dickle. They were sourcing from Tennessee Distilling LTD. That's basically the MGP of Tennessee
I liked the Lost Monarch quite a bit
When are y’all gonna get Dutch a bar mat?
I wanna see a pinhook drinkthrough
We need more tequila blinds !
I live in sonoma county and Alley 6 is the the better local whiskey I have had. they have a rye and a single malt.
I don’t think you guys gave it a proper go because you didn’t let it air out because that rye is really amazing once it opens up. Maybe you need to get the frother to it. The cask strength emerald giant.
Next up Buffalo trace mashbill #1 world famous drinkthrough ™️?
Dutch. You can actually hear the poor pouring skill.
These guys have horrible taste. I love all of these especially for the price point. I keep trying different bottles and keep coming back to redwood empire
What you doing with that haystack needle? I think it's worth 150iddy wink wink
Give Rittenhouse rye a taste. Leave it open for a few days first.
Glad I watched this. Don't think I'll venture to trying this distillery.
Good thing you trust 3 guys and a camera in some room somewhere....lol
Redwood Empire…the poster child of taking advantage of bourbon boom, selling 4-5 year product for $75-100.
Everyone loves these and I’m like huh? Don’t like this brand.

I guess we all like different things. Totally disagree with them. But than again what would you expect from someone who likes willet....
Bugmen and their bourbon channels lol
