Redemption Barrel Proof Rye 10 year old

Redemption delivers a 10 year old barrel proof rye (sourced from MGP); the bottled whiskey is mingled from only six barrels. Nose of hot bitter rye spice and caramel with oak. Great whambam! feel of sweet whiskey followed immediately by oily spicy rye which then controls the flavor and finish without dominating. Not over-oaked and these older MGP barrels are finally showing what 95% rye can do. At 6 years it could be a high-rye bourbon; this simply shouts rye. Fascination.
