Redemption Whiskey just lately introduced just a few new bottlings as a part of a brand new Whiskey Specialty Collection (alternately known as the Cask Collection), together with a wheated bourbon, a rum cask completed bourbon, and this bottling, which is completed in Ferrand Cognac casks. It’s all rye-heavy MGP bourbon to start out with, because it’s all the time been, and there’s no info on both major growing old or the size of the ending.

Let’s dig in.

The candy, fruity parts that percolate on the nostril masks a wholesome punch of wooden and spice; that is clearly nonetheless a reasonably younger whiskey, with toasty cereal notes effectively represented. Smooth on the palate, it drinks much more demurely than the near-50% abv would point out. In reality, the rye speaks most clearly right here, infusing the vanilla-heavy palate with a weighty dusting of spice and notes of recent cherry juice. Some milk chocolate notes emerge later within the sport, tempering any warmth and protecting the whiskey relegated to the quiet facet. The end is straightforward however candy, distinctly fruit-forward, however actually nothing exterior of expectations.

99 proof.
