REDWOOD EMPIRE EMERALD GIANT RYE 750ML 45% ABV

Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye opens with a robust nose, featuring spicy rye grain, black pepper, and a hint of green apple, with undercurrents of oak and vanilla. On the palate, it delivers a rich blend of flavors starting with the bold spiciness of rye, complemented by notes of caramel, cinnamon, and dark chocolate, adding a layer of complexity. The mid-palate introduces dried fruits like cherries and a touch of citrus zest, balancing the initial spice. There is a subtle herbal quality, reminiscent of eucalyptus or mint, which refreshes the palate. The mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied with a silky texture that makes it pleasant to sip. The finish is long and warming, with a lasting spice that echoes the rye character, and a smooth sweetness from the oak aging.
