Redwood Empire Whiskey Tasting

On Saturday, January 24th, 2026, we hosted a curated guided tasting experience in partnership with Redwood Empire Whiskey at Donovan's Meatery in Riverview, Florida.

Guided by the Brand

Led by Redwood Empire representative Aleshia Macomber, guests were taken through a thoughtfully curated lineup of four pours:

• Lost Monarch

• Grizzly Beast

• Screaming Titan

• Devil’s Tower

Each pour came with insight into the mash bills, aging techniques, flavor development, and the philosophy behind the brand. Guests compared tasting notes, asked questions, and shared impressions table to table, creating an atmosphere that felt both elevated and welcoming.

Exclusive Moments & Community Wins

The evening also featured a Redwood Empire swag raffle and the highly anticipated Haystack Needle Single Barrel raffle. Several guests went home with exclusive prizes, but everyone left with something more valuable, connection.

We were especially proud to welcome new members to the Bullets & Bourbon community as a result of this event. Seeing returning members introduce first-time guests to our culture of respect, camaraderie, and curiosity is exactly why we host these experiences.

From bold oak and baking spice to layered fruit and earthy undertones, the lineup showcased the depth and character that has made Redwood Empire a respected name among modern American whiskey producers.
