Redemption Straight Rye Whiskey

In the 1700s and 1800s, Rye was the number one spirit in America, and for good reason: Rye grain was plentiful, and it made good whiskey. But with the enactment of Prohibition and the closing of Rye distilleries, its usage declined. Now, following decades of discreet existence, there is a renaissance in the Rye category as craft cocktail bartenders and consumers alike rediscover its bold, spicy character. Redemption’s award-winning whiskey is produced in small batches for those who appreciate a nod to the past but have a taste for what’s new.

Redemption Whiskey is carefully hand-crafted in the river town of Lawrenceburg, Indiana at the 172-year old MGP Distillery, Whisky Advocate’s 2015 Distiller of the Year. While Redemption is perfect to enjoy neat or on the rocks, it also serves as an excellent base when used in both classic and modern cocktails. Its bold, spicy notes shine through any cocktail without overpowering the drink.

Redemption Rye’s goal is to bring back the classic American Rye cocktail. While the Federal law states that a whiskey must be 51% rye grain to be classified as a rye, we chose to push our grain content to 95% with the other 5% being malted barley. This not only pushes the flavor forward, but it also magnifies the unique profile of the rye grains.

Beautiful flavored rye spice with light floral and citrus notes. Slight mint finish makes this great for sipping or mixing in a classic cocktail.
