Redwood Empire Pipe Dream 101 Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Redwood Empire Pipe Dream 101 Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Craft Bourbon Whiskey | 50.5% ABV (101 Proof) | 750 mL | California, USA | Four-Grain Bourbon | Reserve Expression

Process & Profile

Redwood Empire Pipe Dream 101 Bourbon Whiskey is the higher-proof reserve expression of Pipe Dream, built to deliver a bolder, richer version of the brand’s core bourbon style. This release keeps the four-grain mash bill approach, but is cut at 101 proof and designed to showcase older whiskey stocks along with more of Redwood Empire’s own grain-to-glass distillate. The result is a bourbon that feels more layered and textured than the standard Pipe Dream bottling, while still staying approachable and balanced.

Compared with lower-proof everyday bourbons, Pipe Dream 101 brings more concentration through the mid-palate—more sweetness, more spice, and a longer finish—without losing its easy-drinking character. It’s a great step-up bottle for customers who want more flavor and structure but don’t necessarily want full barrel proof.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Caramel apple, buttered bran muffin, honey stick

• Palate: Zesty lemon bar, chai spice, sugar cookie shortbread

• Finish: Warm, smooth, and lingering with baking spice, sweet oak, and citrus brightness

What Makes It Special

• 101 proof reserve expression for more body, flavor, and finish length

• Maintains a four-grain mash bill for layered sweetness and spice

• Showcases older whiskey stocks plus more Redwood Empire grain-to-glass distillate

• Strong “bridge” bottle between easy sippers and higher-proof bourbon pours

• Great for neat sipping while still versatile enough for premium cocktails

How to Enjoy

Start neat to get the full caramel-citrus-spice profile, then adjust from there. A few drops of water can open the sweeter bakery notes and soften the spice. A single large cube brings out more shortbread and oak sweetness as it slowly dilutes. It also works very well in a proof-forward Old Fashioned—just use a light hand on syrup so the lemon-bar and chai spice notes stay front and center.
