Product Details
Redemption Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley, which makes it significantly lower than their high-rye bourbon but still on par with other classic high-ryes like Four Roses and Wild Turkey, which clock in between eight and sixteen percent rye mash.
A bit more approachable to dedicated cask-strength bourbon drinkers, this bottle of Redemption is a good balance between America's historical staple (rye), and its current love (bourbon). After distillation, it is aged for nine years in new, charred American oak casks before being hand bottled.
Redemption 9 Year Barrel Proof Bourbon is an older iteration of Redemption Bourbon, so distilled by MGP Ingredients, named Distiller of the Year in 2015. It has been aged for 9 years and bottled at full cask strength / barrel proof. That means there has been no water added and it is in its most unfiltered and unadulterated state outside of sticking your glass straight into the barrel.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Amber with ruby tones.
Nose: Aromas of fresh Madagascan vanilla pod, caramelized toffee, oak notes mellowed with caramel, mineral water, anise, orange rind, and dark roast coffee dominate the aroma with hints of lavender honey.
Palate: Smooth, mellow, and seamless, continues to be carried by caramel flavors, with spice, dark fruits, bacon, smoked meats with nuances of hops and white pepper spice with an overlay of wet river stone, the signature flavors of this complex Barrel Proof Whiskey.
Finish: Medium of herbs and spices.
The bourbon has notes of sweet caramel, dried fruits, and toffee, which complement hints of cinnamon and spicy rye.
Experience what happens when generations of knowledge and expertise go into making a bourbon. Carefully crafted, this celebrated 9-year-old gives you the richness of a complex barrel proof bourbon but stays easy to drink from top to bottom. An above average rye content of 21% adds a layer of spice to the bourbon’s sweetness.
