A 95% Rye, Bottled the Way Rye Deserves
Redemption's name was made on rye — and this is the bottle that built it. The mash bill is 95% rye with 5% malted barley, the classic MGP high-rye recipe distilled at the Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Bottled at 92 proof and non-chill filtered, it keeps the rye's full floral, citrus, and spice character intact instead of polishing it away. Redemption (Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, Master Blender Alan Kennedy) has leaned into rye from day one, and this straight rye remains the purist's entry point to the lineup.

Tasting Notes
Oak and florals open to citrus tones with a touch of mint on the nose. The palate is light, floral, and citrusy with slight mint, anise, and dry baking spices — cinnamon, allspice, clove — running through an exceptionally smooth finish.
How to Enjoy
This is a cocktail rye of the highest order — a Manhattan or Sazerac made with 95% rye drinks the way the classics were built to. Sipped neat, it shows the floral-mint side that separates great rye from mere spice.
