Redemption Whiskey Launches Cognac Cask Finish – Just in Time for Holidays

Award-winning whiskey brand, Redemption, is leading the rye revival and has just launched a new expression finished in authentic Cognac casks, just in time for the holidays and perfect for gift giving and holiday entertaining. Redemption Cognac Cask Finish is French luxury meets Redemption’s Pre-Prohibition inspired ‘rye-forward’ whiskey to deliver a truly decadent whiskey experience. To create this unique offering, Redemption’s Master Blender Dave Carpenter teamed up with Ferrand Cognac, one of the world’s premier Cognac makers, to take their award-winning High Rye Bourbon and finish it in authentic Pierre Ferrand Cognac casks. The result is a truly wonderful whiskey that delivers smooth, elegant and bold flavors, balanced with a warming sweetness and Redemption’s signature ‘rye-forward’ finish – perfect for holiday gifting at just under $70.

Redemption is inspired by pre-Prohibition recipes that bring forth truly distinctive rye-forward notes, enabling a new generation to discover America’s original favorite rye-forward whiskey. Redemption’s rye-forward whiskey portfolio with spicy, bold and smooth flavors is meant to enjoy neat, on the rocks and in classic and holiday cocktails. Nearly every eligible variant has earned a 90+ point score and since 2016, the brand has been awarded 95+ times. Notable awards include Rye Whiskey Brand of the Year 2021 NYIWSC, Hot Prospect Brand (2018, 2019, 2020), Double Gold medals at SF Spirits 2021, “Best American Rye” at 2021 World Whiskies Awards and many more.
