Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
Color of deep topaz and amber with hues of orange and lime. Aromas of candied ginger, sage, and lavender with fragrant aromas of fresh pear over layers of vanilla and cedar. Extremely complex with subtle notes of bay leaf and burnt toffee. The palate on this whiskey is silky and harmonious, yet robust and intense. Flavors of roasted coffee beans, smoked meats, and hazelnut marry harmoniously with spicy notes of cardamom and black pepper and a fresh hint of mint.
Mash Bill: 45% Wheat, 51% Corn, 4% Malted Barley
Proof: 96

Made with 45% winter wheat, more than most wheat-forward Bourbons, and aged four years, this honey-hued whiskey offers gentle vanilla and allspice aromas. The flavor is light at first, showing vanilla, hops and a bouncy hint of sarsaparilla. Adding water brings dramatic changes, coaxing forward silky hints of butter cookie, buttered brioche and pecan, finishing with an allspice twang.
Rye was once the number one spirit in America, but over time it fell from grace. Redemption Whiskey is a brand with one purpose and one purpose only: to bring Rye back to its rightful place at the bar.
Truly American, the spirit is crafted in the river town of Lawrenceburg, Indiana at the nearly 200-year old MGP distillery.
Redemption is known for its ‘Rye Forward’ recipes, high proof, quality aging and exceptional blending techniques done by Master Blender, Dave Carpenter, that work to highlight the dry, spicy flavors for which Rye was originally celebrated.
Beyond the blending of core expressions, Dave is also responsible for the launching innovations such as the Redemption Rum Cask Finish and a Redemption Single Barrel Program.
Made in the style of true pre-prohibition rye, Redemption drinks well neat or on the rocks, but it also shines in any classic cocktail such as a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or Sazerac.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
