Redemption Rye

Indiana / Kentucky, USA · 2010'den beri

Redemption Rye was born in 2010 with a clear sense of purpose: to revive the American rye whiskey tradition that had been all but extinguished in the decades following Prohibition. Produced at MGP Ingredients in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the whiskey features a mashbill with well over eighty percent rye grain, lending it an unmistakably bold and spicy character. Notes of cracked black pepper, rye bread, dried herbs, and a subtle citrus brightness define the palate. The brand's very name evokes the idea of redemption — bringing back what was nearly lost. Aged in new charred oak barrels, it strikes a balance between raw grain intensity and the gentle sweetness of American oak. Bartenders in particular have embraced Redemption Rye as a cocktail workhorse, finding its assertive spice profile ideal for classics like the Manhattan and the Sazerac. At an accessible price point, it has become a benchmark for the modern American rye renaissance.
