Redemption Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey

Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 49.5% ABV (99 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

This limited-edition bourbon begins as Redemption’s high-rye straight bourbon, aged for over four years in new American oak barrels, then finished for more than a year in French oak cognac casks (previously used to age Pierre Ferrand cognac). The result is a luxurious fusion of rye character and rich cognac notes.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Hibiscus, concord grape, clove, and allspice
Palate: Dark stone fruits like plum and pear, layered with baking spices and tannic French oak
Finish: Warm, extended finish of buttered pecan, praline, and subtle baking spice

What Makes It Special

• Completed with an elegant finish in French cognac casks for enhanced fruit and oak depth

• Maintains Redemption’s signature rye-forward profile

• Bottled at a robust 99 proof to highlight complexity without overpowering

• Ideal for fans of barrel-finished expressions with bold character

How to Enjoy

Serve neat or with one large ice cube in a Glencairn glass to savor the aromatic fruit and spice layers. It also stands out in elevated cocktails like a Cognac-Barrel Old Fashioned.
