Redemption Straight Bourbon Finished In Cognac Casks Cask Series Batch No 99 Proof 750ml

Redemption Straight Bourbon, Cask Series Batch No. 1, finished in Cognac casks and bottled at an assertive 99 proof, offers a unique and intricate melding of American whiskey craftsmanship with French barrel-aging finesse, all encased in a distinguished 750ml bottle. This exceptional bourbon begins its journey with a meticulously selected blend of corn, rye, and barley, distilled to capture the bold spirit and nuanced flavors characteristic of premium American whiskey. The choice of grains, combined with traditional distillation methods, lays the foundation for a rich, full-bodied bourbon with a complex flavor profile.The innovation in this expression lies in its finishing process. After an initial aging period in new, charred American oak barrels, which instills the whiskey with its vibrant amber color, vanilla undertones, and spicy complexity, the bourbon is then transferred to carefully selected Cognac casks. These casks, having previously nurtured some of France's finest Cognacs, impart an additional layer of depth and sophistication to the bourbon. This secondary aging process allows the whiskey to absorb the subtle, fruity sweetness and rich, oaky notes from the Cognac casks, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas that elevate the bourbon to new heights.Upon tasting, Redemption Straight Bourbon finished in Cognac casks reveals a captivating array of sensory experiences. The nose is greeted with an inviting bouquet of caramel, vanilla, and ripe fruit, hinting at the complexity to follow. On the palate, the bourbon unfolds in layers, starting with the traditional warmth and spice of American whiskey, then transitioning to softer, more refined notes of dried fruits, nuts, and a hint of chocolate, courtesy of the Cognac cask influence. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering sweetness and a touch of oak, making it a truly exceptional sipper. This Cask Series Batch No. 1 stands as a testament to the art of bourbon making and the innovative spirit of Redemption, appealing to both bourbon aficionados and those who appreciate the nuanced elegance of Cognac-aged spirits.
