  • In a nutshell, the Redemption Barrel Proof Bourbon is a tasty burly bourbon that clocks in at 9 years and 110.6 proof. It’s a serious MGP bourbon.

  • As is, it disappointingly finishes short, with a hint of cardamom. Water adds caramel complexity to the previously short finish.

  • The finish is a bit salty and there's still quite a bit of heat going down.

  • The finish is warming but not as hot as the initial attack, ultimately making for a fine, though fairly orthodox bourbon.

  • A bit hot, bitter and grassy which is surprising for a bourbon of this age.

  • Nose:

    Honey, brown sugar, oak, lots of vanilla. Not a lot of spice, not a lot of fruit. Some tobacco.

  • Taste:

    Thin to medium mouthfeel, some young grassy notes. Clove, pepper, some spice here. Less caramel, some lightly malty notes, faint musty. No real fruits here, but there is some pepper and astringency. Heat isn't terrible.

  • Finish:

    Short to medium in length, malty, musty, bitter with some astringency. Clove and pepper, faint orange peel, growing astringent with time.

  • Overall:

    A bit hot, bitter and grassy, which is surprising for a bourbon of this age.

  • Score:
