Product Details

Redwood Empire’s Emerald Giant is a rye that grabs your attention from the first sniff — a California-made, rye-forward spirit (roughly 95% rye) that spent just over three years in new charred oak to build serious character. On the nose you’ll notice bright rye spice, lemon peel and a soft vanilla toast; on the palate it’s lively and direct with black pepper, baking spices and a touch of caramel that slowly gives way to toasted oak and a hint of dried cherry. The mouthfeel is pleasantly weighty and slightly oily, making each sip feel substantial, and the finish lingers with warm clove and a sweet-smoky echo that invites another pour. Drink it neat to savor the grain, stir it into a bold Manhattan or Old Fashioned, or mix with ginger beer for a spicy highball — it also stands up beautifully to smoked meats, aged cheeses or a piece of dark chocolate when you want something comforting and confident.

Perfect Pairings: Smoked brisket, aged cheddar, or a square of bittersweet chocolate.
