Cherry cola, honey, butterscotch, pecans. Long, warm, spicy, nutty, and slightly tannic, with lingering notes of peppery, sweet, and earthy flavors. It leaves a rich, tingling, and satisfyingly sticky impression. The name “Pipe Dream” pays homage to a 367-foot-tall coastal redwood—estimated at over 1,340 years old—towering in the Redwood Creek watershed of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. This ancient giant’s lofty reach and enduring presence inspired the bourbon’s uncut, cask-strength character and its spirit of bold aspiration.
