– redemption high-rye bourbon –
one of the latest rye whiskies i tried was redemption high rye bourbon. redemption came highly recommended from both employees and random patrons at green’s beverage and also from caskers. i’ve had their straight rye whiskey and quite enjoyed it, so i decided to try their rye/bourbon hybrid.
the high rye bourbon is 38.2% rye, 1.8% barley malt and 60% corn, which gives it have the spiciness of the rye with the sweetness of the corn. it was quite smooth and tasty! it’s 92 proof, so it packs a punch and goes great in old fashioneds or on the rocks. it’s not quite the bite i got used to with rittenhouse, but it’s still nice and strong.
redemption is a great choice for an affordable small-batch whiskey. i will probably go with the straight rye whiskey next time i get some redemption, however the high rye bourbon is still a great liquor and worth trying.
