Process & Profile
Redwood Empire Haystack Needle 8 Year Single Barrel Rye Barrel #2766 is distilled grain to glass by Redwood Empire Distillery in Northern California. This California-exclusive rye whiskey is produced from a bold mash bill of 90% rye, 5% wheat, and 5% malted barley. The whiskey was matured for 8 years and 2 months in new American oak barrels with a char level of 3, allowing extended aging to deepen structure while maintaining a spice-forward rye profile. Bottled at barrel strength, this release reflects the distinct character of its individual cask.
