Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is a bold, full-bodied expression from Redwood Empire Whiskey, inspired by California’s towering redwood forests and crafted with uncompromising attention to detail. This cask strength release builds upon the original Pipe Dream Bourbon, offering a pure, uncut version straight from the barrel for maximum flavor intensity.

Aged between 4 and 12 years, and bottled at 117 proof (58.5% ABV), Pipe Dream Cask Strength is made from a high-corn mash bill (74% corn, 20% raw rye, 4.5% malted barley, 1.5% wheat), creating a bourbon that’s both rich and approachable. Expect bold layers of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and spice — a powerhouse whiskey that captures the spirit of the American West.
