Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Blended Straight Whiskey 750ml
Named after the world s largest coastal Redwood, Lost Monarch whiskey has a name to live up to. An award winning bourbon-rye blend with an exceptional balance of sweetness and spice. The perfect choice for those who just can t decide between rye or bourbon, we call it "the best of both worlds."
The world s largest coast redwood by volume, the 320-feet tall, 26 feet in diameter Lost Monarch can be found in the Grove of Titans, a legendary stand of ancient conifers in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Here, amid lush ferns and densely matted epiphytes, Lost Monarch reigns over some of the world s largest trees.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Dark Amber color with a slightly orange cast.
Nose: Complex, with clove, cinnamon, vanilla, orange citrus zest and butterscotch notes, and an intriguing hint of sandalwood.
Palate: Sweetness from corn and spiciness from rye combine with an almost maple syrup like flavor. Vanilla and caramel notes lead to a persistent, yet subdued peppery finish.
"A blend of 3 to 5 year old straight rye and 4 to 12 year old straight bourbon. Although the nose is a bit reticent, once it opens up, what is revealed is pure delight: orange blossom, iced tea, dark berries, lemon oil, pine, cinnamon, nutmeg, and leather. Fruit and spice enjoy a dynamic interplay on the palate, with orange, cherry, blueberry, and grape, shot through with cedar, cinnamon, and sturdy oak. The medium-length finish is supple and pretty: dark chocolate, toasted pecans, and well-integrated oak." - Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (90 Points)
