PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Devil’s Tower is a bold, high-rye bourbon from Redwood Empire that emphasizes spice and rye character while still weaving in sweetness and complexity. It shines when sipped neat, but its 99 proof gives it versatility for light dilution or robust cocktails. For those who like rye-forward bourbons with nuance, it’s a compelling pick.
Producer: Redwood Empire Whiskey (Northern California)
It’s part of their Small Lot / focused experimentation series.

| Element | Notes & Highlights |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Hay, licorice, eucalyptus, lingonberry. |
| Palate / Taste | Grapefruit pith, cardamom, crisp mint, tobacco. Also shows vanilla, black pepper, honey, caramel, oak, baking spice. |
| Finish | A lingering sweet + spicy tingling, balancing rye intensity with oak and residual warmth. |
Reviewers highlight its balanced sweet/spicy interplay—you get the rye “bite” but not at the expense of drinkability.
Serve: Neat or with a drop of water to open the aromatics.
Cocktails: Works well in stronger bourbon cocktails (Manhattan, Boulevardier) because its rye backbone holds up.

• Dark chocolate or chocolate desserts
• Spicy cheeses or aged cheeses
• Nutty desserts or pecan pie
