REDWOOD EMPIRE WHISKEY

Our name comes from the land we call home—Northern California’s Redwood Empire. Once blanketed by ancient trees stretching the length of the coast, this 420-mile forest was one of the most majestic ecosystems on earth. Today, less than 3% of that original redwood forest remains. What’s left stands protected in pockets thanks to early conservationists like John Muir. In 2013, founder Derek Benham saw potential in this region’s cool, temperate climate—perfect for aging whiskey slowly and evenly. Two years later, we broke distillery ground in the small town of Graton, nestled in the Russian River Valley and surrounded by redwoods. For four years, we waited. Tasting, refining, blending, producing and sourcing more. When the time came to bottle, we honored the ancient forests around us. Driven by a commitment to bold, expressive California whiskey, we’ve built the largest inventory of aging whiskey in the state—despite being limited to producing just four barrels a day. In 2025, a decade after laying down our first barrel, we moved operations to Mare Island, north of San Francisco, where we’ve tripled capacity to 14 barrels a day. Still small by industry standards—where many distilleries produce well over 300 barrels daily—we choose to go slow, with intent.
