Redwood Empire Colonel Armstrong Wheated Bourbon
When it came time to name their new Wheated Bourbon, the distillery was struck by its warm, nostalgic notes of cereal and strawberry. They turned to the story of Colonel James Armstrong. After fighting for the Union, he moved to Northern California and he preserved what is now Armstrong Woods when he gifted the land to his daughter for $1, love, and affection. A distinctly special story for a distinctly special whiskey.
