Redemption Wheated Bourbon is a straight bourbon made with 45% winter wheat in the mash bill and bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV).
Redemption's obsession with rye taught it how to make the most of unique mash bills, so it couldn't resist making its own wheated bourbon. At 45% winter wheat, far higher than most wheated bourbons, it explores the nuance and character that wheat can unleash. Distilled in Indiana and released in 2017, it earned a Double Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and offers a smoother alternative to high-rye bourbons.
An ultra-smooth symphony of nuance and complexity, it shows creamy toffee, butterscotch and soft vanilla with roasted coffee, hazelnut and walnut, spiced with cardamom and black pepper, and finishes with fresh-baked bread with a toasted crust and a hint of malty sweetness.
The vintage label makes it a refined gift for bourbon lovers.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
High-wheat bourbons are prized for their soft, rounded mouthfeel.
A splash of water opens up the toffee.
Serve it neat in a Glencairn glass.
It makes a smooth Manhattan.
Pair a pour with a slice of coffee cake.
It is a great gift for wheated bourbon fans.
