{"product_id":"redwood-empire-colonel-armstrong-wheated-bourbon-94pf","title":"Redwood Empire Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon","description":"\u003cp\u003eRedwood Empire Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon Whiskey is a 94 proof (47% ABV) wheated bourbon crafted from a four-grain mash bill of 59% corn, 30% wheat, 6% rye, and 5% malted barley. That hefty wheat content delivers a softer, rounder style of bourbon while the touch of rye and oak keeps things structured. Expect ripe fruit, honeyed grain, vanilla, and gentle baking spice up front, making this a genuinely satisfying pour for the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedwood Empire built this bottle as a 122-barrel blend, pairing their own grain-to-glass whiskey with select high-wheat bourbons sourced from Kentucky and Indiana. Components range from roughly four to fourteen years old, so you get the vibrancy of younger barrels balanced against the deep oak character of the older stock — a thoughtful approach that reflects Redwood Empire's California craft distilling roots blended with proven Midwest bourbon pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe orchard fruit, honeyed grain, warm vanilla, light toasted oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown sugar sweetness, baked apple, vanilla bean, gentle cinnamon spice, soft oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium length with lingering honey, warm baking spice, and a whisper of char\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheated Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47% (94 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlend, 4–14 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRedwood Empire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59% Corn, 30% Wheat, 6% Rye, 5% Malted Barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wheated bourbon fits right into everyday whiskey life.
