Redemption Straight Rye

NOSE Dill, copper, vanilla taffy, oak, dark fruit, citrus zest, Smarties, herbal spice and a touch of caramel. Aroma is that oh-so-familiar dilly MGP 95/5 rye character that’s really comes to signify the resurgence of rye in the last 15 years. PALATE Dill, vanilla taffy, oak, dark fruit, sugar cookies, citrus zest, copper, Smarties, herbal spice and a touch of caramel. Palate of the Redemption Rye rides a similar profile with a bit more sweetness pulling in a nice sugar cookie note to compliment the oaky-dilly-herbal-spice. FINISH Long -> Copper, oak, citrus zest and dilly spice. The finish starts metallic and fades out to that signature dilly spice in a soft drawl.

Clove. Oak. Allspice. Orange. Spicy. Anise. Espresso. Delicious.

Peaches, orange and spice on the nose, brown sugar forward I to subtle peach then clove and dry oak. Nice. Maybe a bit young but good.

Oak. Leather. Clove. Cigar box spice. Nutmeg. Orange.

A-medium amber S- mild,earthy,tame smoke, mild dark fruit. Sweet leaf tobacco. Rubbing alchohol. T- mild spice for a rye. Followed by lots of earth and sweet grain. Fruity finish. Way more delicate and complex than I thought it'd be. Stands up well on the rocks. Superb mixer for cocktails. A good benchmark rye for under $30. M- pretty meaty base. Full bodied. O- worth its weight. Its a tad bit young to take on more of the late flavors of oak. The vanilla/butterscotch notes. It does have a special sweetness combined with a certain earthiness. Nothing off-putting. Well balanced for what it is. Not as spicy as many rye's. I enjoy.
