10 Year Old Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml

Bottle size

Prior to Prohibition, rye whiskey was the staple ingredient of classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned, the Manhattan and the Whiskey Sour. Spicier and more robust than malt whisky, rye was so popular that George Washington distilled it at his estate in Mount Vernon. As distilleries across the country were forced to close their doors due to Prohibition, however, bootleggers began distilling gin instead of rye, and for good reason — gin didn't require aging under the watchful eye of a master distiller and its true flavors could be hidden behind a mask of botanicals. As Americans grew accustomed to gin, rye whiskey became an anachronism. Nearly a century after Prohibition, the preferred whiskey of the saloon era is experiencing a resurgence. By law, rye whiskey must be made from a mash of at least 51% rye. Rye that has been aged in charred, new oak barrels for at least two years earns the title straight rye whiskey. Redemption 10 Year Old Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, and is matured for a minimum of 10 years before being mingled and bottled from just six individual barrels. The whiskey is then bottled at barrel proof. As a result of this extra-long maturation process, Redemption 10 Year Old Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey has a nose of spicy rye, caramel and oak, which leads to sweet cereal grains and bitter apple on the palate. The finish is oily and warming, with some faint hints of vanilla accompanying even more spicy rye and oak notes.…

About the brand

In the 1700s and 1800s, Rye was the number one spirit in America, and for good reason: Rye grain was plentiful, and it made damn 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 is a brand with one purpose and one purpose only: to bring Rye whiskey back to its rightful place.
