Redemption Straight Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)
Produced from a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, aged for no less than three years.
Other reviews... Initially, floral and fruit meet oak and a cadre of baking spices. Then it’s a plethora of vanilla in several forms, from icing to pudding, followed by notes of butterscotch, fudge, Oreo cookies, and pecan shell. Sweet cigar tobacco and honey follow this home to a short to medium finish with a hint of peach cobbler. Ideal for cocktails. 87 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Fred Minnick 2018
[aged no less than two years bottling] ...Certainly kicks off well enough both on the nose and delivery with an attractive mix of vanilla and liquorice; but the finish is curiously bitter, not a trait one normally associates with Bourbon. Some decent redeeming Muscovado sugars at play. 83.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022
...The nose is alluring with notes of uncooked spices, raw cocoa beans, and orange peel. The mouthfeel is spicy but soft with elegant flavors of roasted peach, powdered sugar, and butterscotch. Smooth finish with a touch of salty minerality. 86 points - Very good, Strong recommendation. - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021
