Redwood Empire Grizzly Beast Bottled In Bond Bourbon Whiskey

Grizzly Beast is Redwood Empire's first bottled-in-bond bourbon — 100% distilled in Graton, California, five years old, 100 proof, from a four-grain mash — and Cade Sterling called it unique, distinct from the Kentucky profile, with peach, apricot, and black tea. The distillery sits in Sonoma County in the redwoods west of Santa Rosa, run by Purple Brands with master distiller Jeff Duckhorn, and plants a tree for every bottle sold; the sourced-blend bottles built the brand, and Grizzly Beast, launched in 2021, is the house's own distillate finally old enough to bottle in bond. It's 66% corn, 23% rye, 7% wheat, 4% malted barley — distilled at Graton from one season, aged five years in new charred oak in the cool Sonoma climate, and bottled at exactly 100 proof per the 1897 act. Sterling: peach, apricot, and black tea with surprising complexity for the age — 6.5 out of 10. Expect a fruit-forward, tea-like, faintly floral bourbon — the coastal climate ages differently than Kentucky heat — with honey, light oak, and a clean, spiced finish. Honest note: the only West Coast bonded bourbon most people will find, and the bottle that proves Redwood Empire is a distillery, not a blender — for the craft-bourbon drinker who wants terroir and the collector of bonded oddities; and you're buying a tree. Neat or on a cube. Grizzly Beast, bonded, Graton.
