A surprising wheated Bourbon with zero rye… from Redemption Rye Whiskey.

Bardstown Barrel Selections is a small company based in Bardstown, Kentucky — the spiritual and geographic heart of Bourbon country. They know what kinds of flavors they want to get out of a Whiskey, and they go looking for the barrels produced by dozens of large and small distillery shops all across the mid-west. They blend these choice barrels to develop the flavor profiles for their signature brands and impress the crowds with a high-quality and consistent experience across their Whiskeys. Bardstown currently bottles the Redemption Rye product range that’s distilled in Indiana.

Redemption Rye Whiskey is known for producing great Rye Whiskeys. No surprise there. Then they added a high-rye Bourbon to the line up. Again, seems legit. But imagine our surprise when the company "Redemption Rye Whiskey" came out with a wheated Bourbon that has zero rye in it at all? And we were even more surprised at how much we like it.

Redemption Wheated Bourbon has a mash bill of 51% corn, 45% winter wheat, and 4% malted barley. It sits on the knife-edge between Bourbon and Wheat Whiskey. And this approach is definitely NOT typical. Most Wheated Bourbons have roughly equal parts wheat and rye. This 94 point award winner is aged four years in new oak and bottled at a very pleasant 48% ABV.

Not aged enough

Received this as a small sample bottle, glad it wasn't a 750ml. It drinks "hotter" than it's proof, which would likely mellow if it were aged longer. Left a dry, unpleasant effect on the palate.

Redemption Wheated

Nose is toffee and sage. Taste has some spice with coffee. Finish is slightly sweet with lingering spice.

Peppery Spice starts and stands out foremost then lingers through to the finish. The touch of sweetness eat the middle draws me back in. Strong start was not over powering at all.

I just find this very bland and weak. Very strong grain nose. Taste is very bland. Smooth but lacking any real flavor. A little bit of spice, no burn at all. Give this to a novice bourbon drinker who doesn’t really like bourbon. Not my jam.
