94 Points, Tasting Panel – 94 Points, Wine Enthusiast

The deep golden hue hints at the complexity within. On the nose, you’ll find sweet maple, vanilla, and a touch of honey that draws you in immediately. The palate is where this bourbon truly shines – rich and complex with notes of roasted pecan, vanilla, and lingering char and woody notes. It finishes smoothly with just the right hint of black pepper to keep things interesting.

Wine Enthusiast awarded it 94 points and included it in both their Top 13 Bourbons of the Year and Top 100 Spirits of the Year lists. They noted the “robust palate” with “a dusting of cocoa” that transforms into “milk chocolate and vanilla richness” when a drop or two of water is added.

Original price was: $45.00.Current price is: $37.95.

. After tasting the Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon, I’ve made an exception that breaks my own long-standing rule. This is my first-ever California bourbon offering, and it’s only happening because the quality and price aligned so perfectly that I couldn’t ignore it.

Pipe Dream gets its name from a massive redwood tree (the world’s 14th largest?? – I had no clue they kept track of those things) near the Graton Distilling Company in Sonoma County. While the bottle contains some of their own distillate, it’s actually a masterful blend of bourbons from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and California, ranging anywhere from 4 to 12 years old. This approach gives them the best of all worlds – the heritage of traditional bourbon regions combined with California’s innovative spirit.
