Redemption Wheated Bourbon

Wheated Bourbon might become a big thing. I read somewhere that the Pappy Van Winkle line is a wheated Bourbon. Since folks seen to be willing to pay considerable sums to purchase Van Winkle it makes sense that other distillers might also make a wheated Bourbon to cash in on the folks with money to burn on Bourbon. I know I purchased Redemption for the wheated and so you can read this review.

Nose: the aroma has a mild noise that does not burn when deeply inhaled. I get mostly oak and vanilla. A very pleasant aroma and mild for something at 96 proof.

Sip: up front Redemption is mild as it draws in.

Taste: the oak takes over gently. Some might not like the oak, but I do.

Finish: gentle.

This is a gentle, oak heavy drink. If you desire to purchase Redemption, you should keep this in mind. After all, it is not everyday you can buy Redemption. Come on, your saw that coming?

Update on Bourbon Reviews

Just a short, out of cycle update.

It has been years since the basic review process has been discussed. I thought I should go over how I review, in case either of my readers cares.

I am going to open with a quick introduction to the juice. The introduction will most likely be a simple “why I purchased this bottle” approach.

Next will be the nose, followed by sip, then taste and finally finish. I will sip some neat and then use a giant ice cube in a rocks glass to sample.

I am now going for nothing fancy here on the web site. I am going to try doing a few reviews phone only and see how the reviews go. No more fancy camera.

Feedback is always welcome. I will delete stuff that pisses me off.

Here is a little preview picture.
