Redwood Empire The Hyperion Batch 001 Blend of Straight Whiskeys – 110 Proof (55% ABV) | 750ml (Pre-Order)

Bold, complex, and created as a one-of-a-kind exploration of American whiskey, Redwood Empire The Hyperion Batch 001 Blend of Straight Whiskeys is the inaugural 2026 release of Redwood Empire’s Hyperion series. Bottled at 55% ABV (110 proof) in a 750ml bottle, The Hyperion combines four distinct whiskey styles sourced from four states, with components ranging from 7 to 14 years old. The result brings together bourbon, rye, wheat whiskey, and American single malt in a uniquely composed blend designed never to be repeated.

Process & Blending

The Hyperion was created from Redwood Empire’s library of foundational whiskeys, bringing together four distinctly different whiskey styles from four different states.

The blend consists of:

32% Bourbon Whiskey
30% Rye Whiskey
25% Wheat Whiskey
13% Single Malt Whiskey

The individual components range from 7 to 14 years old and originate from California, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Rather than focusing on a single grain or whiskey style, Hyperion uses the contrasting characteristics of bourbon, rye, wheat whiskey, and single malt to create an entirely new expression. The finished whiskey is bottled at a substantial 55% ABV (110 proof).

Appearance

Rich amber with deep copper and mahogany hues, presenting a mature and concentrated appearance in the glass.

Tasting Notes

Nose: California walnut and roasted apricot lead into rich fruit, malt, and warm baking spices.

Palate: Decadent and layered with pomegranate molasses, stone fruit, cream, and warm baking spice, bringing together richness, fruit, and spice.

Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering notes of toffee and toasted malt.

What Makes It Special

The Hyperion Batch 001 is the inaugural release of Redwood Empire’s annual Hyperion series, an ongoing exploration of what is possible in American whiskey.

Inspired by Hyperion, the world’s tallest tree, the series gives Redwood Empire’s Master Distiller and Master Blender an opportunity to explore unexpected blends, unusual barrel treatments, collaborations, and new approaches to whiskey production.

Most importantly, each annual Hyperion expression is intended to stand on its own:

“Once a year. One whiskey. Never repeated.”

For Batch 001, Redwood Empire married four whiskey categories from four different states, combining the richness of bourbon, spice of rye, softness of wheat whiskey, and malt-driven character of American single malt into one high-proof blend.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a whiskey tasting glass to explore the full complexity of its four-whiskey blend. At 110 proof, allowing the whiskey several minutes to rest or adding a few drops of water can reveal additional layers of fruit, cream, toasted malt, baking spice, and sweetness.

Brand Story

Redwood Empire Whiskey created The Hyperion as an annual platform for its Master Distiller and Master Blender to explore new possibilities in American whiskey. Inspired by the world’s tallest tree, the series is designed around creativity and experimentation, including unexpected blends, unusual barrel treatments, pioneering collaborations, and boundary-pushing production techniques.

The 2026 inaugural release establishes that philosophy by marrying four foundational whiskey styles from four different states into something Redwood Empire describes as unlike anything it had made before. Future Hyperion releases are intended to explore new ideas rather than recreate Batch 001, making this first edition the starting point of a continuing annual series.
