- Excerpt: No major off notes in here, but then there’s not much of anything in here. It’s so light and ethereal it just vaporizes before it fully registers with the senses.

Intro:
Produced with a mashbill containing 45% winter wheat, Redemption's take on wheated bourbon comes bottled at 48% ABV and a very approachable combination of affordability and availability - it's available in nearly every market in the U.S. with a sub-$50 price tag. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Sweet and easy on the nose, approachable and full of honey, baking spice, butterscotch and a touch of vanilla bean.
-
Taste:
On the palate, the 48% ABV is drinking really pleasantly. It's pleasant, viscous, and has plenty of layers, while not proofy or punishing. Tons of caramel, icing, sweet oak and a touch of cinnamon on the back palate.
-
Finish:
Dangerously sippable, the finish is soft and complex. There's plenty going on, and it fades nicely. Not terribly long, but it's full of graham cracker, sweet butterscotch, more honey and a touch of creme brulee.
-
Overall:
Overall, this wheated bourbon bottled by Redemption is a sleeper on the shelf and a great buy all day long. It's full of flavor, proofed well for a wide variety of drinkers, and a reminder that good whiskey doesn't have to rip your head off.
