GUINIGI

Redwood Empire Screaming Titan, Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 96 proof ($80)

A 50-barrel production of a four-grain mash bill (30% wheat and 59% corn) named for a 323-foot Redwood tree. Toffee-coated walnuts, black pepper, tree bark and peach tart offer a burly bellow. An extroverted whiskey with orange peel and a warming sensation of chocolate croissant on mid-palate. A well-defined attention-getter.
