This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, we’re diving into a packed week of whiskey news before heading to Northern California for a Byte-Sized Review of Redwood Empire Haystack Needle. Michter’s is releasing its first-ever Barrel Strength Sour Mash Whiskey, Maker’s Mark is back with a new edition of Star Hill Farm Whisky, Widow Jane is finishing bourbon in Tequila Ocho casks, Jack Daniel’s has a new hazmat rye release, and Four Roses is expanding its single barrel lineup. Plus, we take a quick look at upcoming video game releases, including Forza Horizon 6 and 007 First Light. Then it’s time for the main event: a review of Redwood Empire Haystack Needle, an 8 year, 7 month California bourbon single barrel pick from K&L Wine and Spirits, bottled at 119 proof. This bottle completely surprised me with bright red fruit, strawberry shortcake, dark chocolate, oak, and a finish that makes me wonder if Redwood Empire is helping define the future of California whiskey. 🥃 Topics covered: Brown-

Why do winemakers in Valtellina need motorized monorails to harvest grapes? About This Video: Milan knows how to live luxuriously, and when it comes to sparkling wine, the locals don't buy French Champagne. Just one hour east of the city, Franciacorta crafts world-class sparkling wine using the metodo classico (traditional method) on the glacial moraine hills of Lake Iseo. Earning DOCG status in 1995, Franciacorta enforces aging laws that put Champagne to shame: a minimum of 18 months on the lees for non-vintage, 30 m
