Rum Cask Finish Rye Whiskey

Redemption Description

To make this one-of-a-kind spirit, Master Blender, Dave Carpenter, took our trademark Redemption Rye (95% rye, 5% malted barley mashbill) and finished it in Jamaican and Barbadian rum barrels. The result is an intriguing romance between the signature spice of Redemption Rye and the complex sweetness imparted on the rum barrels. The aging process required meticulous monitoring to achieve the perfect balance of these flavors. The resulting spirit was named “Best American Rye Whiskey” at the 2021 World Whiskies Competition.

This bottling balances rum and rye, softness and leanness. Maple and orange peel on nose and palate lead into almond and coconut, drying to leather and nutmeg on the finish, plus fleeting mouthwatering salinity.
