## **JEFF'S NOTES**

---

****NOSE**: Corn | Vanilla | Sweet Dried Fruit | Nutmeg

****TASTE:** Corn | Caramel | Rye Spice | Char

****FINISH:** Medium to long. Very spicy with char that remains on the palate past the swallow.

****SHARE WITH:** Friends who will enjoy a simple and drinkable bourbon as well as MGP fans.

****WORTH THE PRICE**: This one is at the upper-echelon of bottom-shelf whiskey. I would not go above MSRP.

****BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST:** This one is definitely a Bar rating. A very average Bourbon lacking much in depth.

****OVERALL:** Redemption High Rye Bourbon is something I've been hemming-and-hawing about for the last year. It has a very attractive, low-entry price and it is from MGP, something only a few years ago was sneered at and in the last couple, suddenly treasured.

I hoped Redemption High Rye Bourbon would be an opportunity to #RespectTheBottomShelf but this didn't quite make my cut of a great low-cost gem. There was nothing really wrong with this Bourbon, it just was very average with a punch of ethanol despite allowing it to rest about 20 minutes prior to sipping.

I don't want to leave the impression this is a bad whiskey because it isn't. But, it also isn't a shining star. Yet, when one of the best things about a whiskey is its creamy mouthfeel, that's not something that wets my whistle.

This would be a good Bourbon to use in cocktails. There are some very strong flavors. But, it also drinks a lot higher than its proof statement.

Try this one at a Bar (or friend's house) first before committing to a bottle. MGP fans should try this as well so they can get a complete idea of what they offer. Cheers!
