Redemption High Rye Bourbon
Redemption · Ross & Squibb Distillery (MGP sourced)
Redemption's high-rye mash bill makes this an ideal bourbon for anyone who wants their whiskey to talk back. It's structured, spice-forward, and deeply drinkable — punching above its price point with conviction. A cocktail powerhouse that stands equally well on its own.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Rye spice crackles immediately, with toasted rye bread and a thread of dried orange peel. Beneath it, caramel sweetness tempers the grain's bite, and a faint whiff of charred oak rounds things out.
Palate
Lean and assertive. The high rye content pushes pepper and baking spice to the front, while corn sweetness provides a steady counterbalance. Midpalate brings butterscotch and a hint of leather before the oak structure tightens.
Finish
Medium-long with lingering rye spice and a dry charred oak tail. A whisper of cherry emerges as it fades.

Smoked brisket with black pepper bark
Blended and bottled in Bardstown from MGP-distilled bourbon, Redemption was built around the idea that high-rye mash bills — once considered too aggressive — deserved a platform of their own.
