About the product
A rare and highly acclaimed addition to Redemption’s Ancients Collection, this 18 year old bourbon showcases the depth that only long aging can deliver. Distilled at MGP in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and carefully selected and blended by Master Blender Alan Kennedy, it is bottled at full barrel proof of 103.4 (51.7% ABV) and non chill filtered to preserve every nuance.
The nose opens with warm oak, cherry jam, cinnamon and a hint of mint. On the palate, rich vanilla and dark cherry meet sweet corn, leather and toasted oak, creating a complex yet remarkably balanced profile. The finish is long and lingering, with oak, vanilla and a soft echo of cherry.
Named World’s Best Whiskey of 2025 by Rolling Stone and awarded Double Gold at major spirits competitions, this limited release of only a few thousand bottles offers collectors and enthusiasts a true expression of perfectly aged American bourbon.
