Redemption Cognac Cask Finish Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an exquisite synthesis of American bourbon craftsmanship and the elegance of French cognac. This distinctive spirit originates from the heart of Indiana, where it begins its life as a high-rye bourbon aged in new American oak barrels. Its journey takes an intriguing turn as it is transferred to authentic Pierre Ferrand Cognac casks, previously used for the aging of fine cognac, for an additional maturation period. This unique finishing process infuses the bourbon with a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas, creating a harmonious balance between bold bourbon characteristics and the refined complexities of cognac.
The resulting whiskey is a captivating exploration of taste, where each sip unveils layers of caramel, vanilla, and oak, seamlessly intertwined with the subtle nuances of dried fruits and floral hints imparted by the cognac barrels. The nose entices with ripe fruit aromas, complemented by a touch of caramelized sugar and warming spices, setting the stage for a rich and satisfying palate. Redemption Cognac Cask Finish is not only a testament to the skill of Master Blender Dave Carpenter but also a celebration of tradition and innovation in the world of whiskey.
