Redemption High Rye Bourbon is a spice-forward Indiana bourbon poured at Grappa, the Italian and Mediterranean restaurant in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Sourced from the renowned distillery at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, it carries an elevated proportion of rye in its mash bill, and we keep it on the list for guests who favor a brighter, more peppery style of bourbon at our tables on Boston Street.
About the Distillery
Redemption is a whiskey brand built around grain-forward recipes, distilled and aged in Indiana at the large Lawrenceburg facility widely known by its initials, MGP, a source respected for high-quality rye and bourbon. Redemption focuses on letting these classic American grain bills speak clearly, with the High Rye expression showcasing an unusually generous measure of rye for a bourbon.
Style & Mash Bill
True to its name, Redemption High Rye is built on a corn-forward bourbon mash bill carrying a notably elevated rye content, well above what a standard bourbon uses, rounded out with malted barley. The whiskey is column distilled and matured in new charred American oak. The extra rye brings forward bright spice and a crisp, peppery edge while corn keeps the base sweet and rounded.
Tasting Notes
The nose leads with baking spice, black pepper and cinnamon over caramel and vanilla. The palate is lively and spice-driven, with rye pepper, clove and a herbal lift balanced by corn sweetness and oak. The finish is crisp and warming, with lingering spice that gives the whiskey real energy.
