{"product_id":"redwood-empire-the-colonel-armstrong-wheated-bourbon","title":"Redwood Empire The Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eColonel Armstrong just launched in June 2026, and it's Redwood Empire's first true wheated bourbon — a four-grain expression built around a genuinely unusual mash bill: 59% corn, 30% wheat, 6% rye, and 5% malted barley, more than double the wheat content of most wheated bourbons on the market. Master Blender Lauren Patz combined the distillery's own Vallejo, California grain-to-glass spirit with hand-selected high-wheat bourbons sourced from Kentucky and Indiana, ranging from 4 to 14 years old, blended across 122 barrels and aged partly in Northern California's cool, foggy climate. The name honors Colonel James Armstrong, a Union Civil War veteran who preserved what's now Armstrong Woods by gifting the land to his daughter for just a dollar, \"love, and affection\" — coordinates printed right on the bottle lead to the actual 1,400-year-old redwood behind the story. Since this is a brand-new release, no independent reviews exist yet, so these notes come straight from the distillery: ripe stone fruit, honeyed grain, and vanilla, with a nostalgic hint the brand describes as a strawberry jam sandwich, balanced by gentle baking spice and a smooth, integrated oak finish. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), priced around $40.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Redwood Empire Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon Whiskey online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49151626969344,"sku":"C0010202L","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/RedwoodEmpireColonelArmstrong.jpg?v=1787464493","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/redwood-empire-the-colonel-armstrong-wheated-bourbon","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
