Redemption Barrel Proof 10 Year Straight Rye (2017 Edition)
Rye
Redemption // Indiana, USA
RARE
Redemption's Barrel Proof Collection first started in late 2015. These limited edition whiskeys are offered with the same mashbills as their standard bottlings, but are bottled at cask strength, each year's batch will varying slightly. This straight rye has a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley.
Bottled at 58.1% ABV, the whiskey aged for 10 years in new charred American oak and was minimally filtered. 2017 marks a new look for the Barrel Proof Collection with wider, squat bottles.

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"Missing the expected spice and sweet notes of a quality rye whiskey, this is unpleasantly dominated by herbaceous aromas including lavender and dill, and strong fault notes of menthol and camphor. The palate adds sage and basil plus a hint of pepper. A touch of traditional rye flavors emerges on the finish with baking spices and leather."
