Redwood Empire The Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon Small Batch 750 ml

Discover Redwood Empire The Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon Small Batch 750ml, a beautifully balanced high-wheat bourbon inspired by the legacy of Colonel James Armstrong, whose preservation efforts helped protect California's iconic Armstrong Redwoods. Crafted by Redwood Empire Whiskey, this small-batch release showcases the softer, sweeter side of bourbon while maintaining exceptional depth and complexity.

Blended from 122 carefully selected barrels aged up to 14 years, The Colonel Armstrong combines Redwood Empire's signature craftsmanship with a high-wheat mash bill to produce an exceptionally smooth and approachable whiskey. Bottled at 47% ABV (94 Proof) without sacrificing richness, it delivers a creamy mouthfeel layered with fruit, honeyed grain, vanilla, and gentle oak spice.

The nose opens with warm cereal grain, honey, and ripe fruit. The palate reveals soft notes of ripe stone fruit, vanilla, honeyed wheat, strawberry preserves, gentle baking spice, and toasted oak, finishing long, silky, and balanced with lingering sweetness and subtle oak. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or in a premium Old Fashioned, The Colonel Armstrong offers an elegant expression of modern American wheated bourbon.
