Redemption High Rye Bourbon
Redemption · Ross & Squibb Distillery (MGP sourced)
Redemption's high-rye mash bill makes this an ideal bourbon for anyone who wants their whiskey to talk back. It's structured, spice-forward, and deeply drinkable — punching above its price point with conviction. A cocktail powerhouse that stands equally well on its own.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Rye spice crackles immediately, with toasted rye bread and a thread of dried orange peel. Beneath it, caramel sweetness tempers the grain's bite, and a faint whiff of charred oak rounds things out.
Palate
Lean and assertive. The high rye content pushes pepper and baking spice to the front, while corn sweetness provides a steady counterbalance. Midpalate brings butterscotch and a hint of leather before the oak structure tightens.
Finish
Medium-long with lingering rye spice and a dry charred oak tail. A whisper of cherry emerges as it fades.

Food Pairing
Smoked brisket with black pepper bark
Blended and bottled in Bardstown from MGP-distilled bourbon, Redemption was built around the idea that high-rye mash bills — once considered too aggressive — deserved a platform of their own.

Kentucky Peerless Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
Peerless
Kentucky Peerless represents what happens when a young distillery takes no shortcuts — sweet mash, no chill filtration, barrel proof. The result is a bourbon that's simultaneously bold and disciplined, with enough negative space between its flavors for each to land clearly.
Domaine de la Tournelle Arbois Poulsard de l'Uva Arbosiana 2021
Domaine de la Tournelle
A masterclass in restraint. Poulsard at its most transparent — a red wine that whispers rather than declares, defined as much by what's absent as by what remains.
Havana Club Selección de Maestros
Havana Club
A masterclass in editorial restraint. Where many premium rums crowd the glass with sweetness, Selección de Maestros trusts the silences — the negative space between notes is where its sophistication lives. Essential for drinkers who mistake Cuban rum for merely 'light.'
Capreolus Raspberry Eau de Vie Gin
Capreolus
Barrie Lancaster's eau de vie background shows in every sip — this is a gin that understands distillation as an act of capture, not construction. The space between the floral top notes and the woody juniper base is wide and elegant, each element articulated with rare clarity.

Woodford Reserve Wheat Whiskey
Woodford Reserve
This is bourbon's quieter cousin — a wheat whiskey that trades punch for poise. It rewards slow sipping and proves that restraint can carry as much complexity as cask strength bravado. An excellent entry point into wheat whiskeys for bourbon drinkers ready to explore.
Bower Hill Barrel Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bower Hill
An overlooked small-batch sourced bourbon that punches well above its price point — structured, spice-forward, and quietly complex, ideal for drinkers who prize backbone over gloss.
Wyoming Whiskey Outryder Straight American Whiskey
Wyoming Whiskey
A bold, weather-forged American whiskey that refuses to smooth its edges. Outryder is one of the most distinctive bonded whiskeys made outside Kentucky — an honest, high-plains expression of what climate can imprint on grain and barrel.
