Redwood Empire Van Duzen Straight Rye 700ml

Redwood Empire Van Duzen Straight Rye Whiskey stands as a tribute to the wild and unrelenting beauty of California’s North Coast. Named after the Van Duzen River, which winds through the misty redwood forests of Humboldt County, this rye whiskey reflects the same untamed energy and natural elegance of its namesake.

Distilled with a traditional rye-forward mash bill, Van Duzen delivers a vivid, spice-driven character balanced by a smooth and honeyed foundation. Notes of cracked pepper, vanilla, and caramelized sugar mingle with hints of citrus zest, oak, and herbal tea, creating a layered and dynamic sipping experience. Bottled at 700 ml, it showcases Redwood Empire’s signature craftsmanship, bold, balanced, and unmistakably Californian.
