Description
Meet the Toasted & Char 3 Edition of Redwood Empire Foggy Burl, a masterfully crafted California Single Malt Whiskey that pushes the boundaries of innovation in the Small Lot Series. Distilled grain-to-glass in Sonoma County, this release embraces a highly experimental approach with its use of custom Toasted & Char 3 barrels, elevating its depth and richness.
This small batch (Batch 003) is made from 100% malted barley, including 12 distinct barley varieties, aged in the unique coastal climate of Northern California. The name “Foggy Burl” pays tribute to the legendary redwoods near Humboldt Bay—particularly a towering 342-foot tree from which this whiskey draws inspiration.
Bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV), this whiskey boasts a velvety, complex profile enhanced by the extra toast and deeper char levels. Only 55 barrels were produced, making this an incredibly limited release and collector’s gem.
