Redemption Releases Single Barrel Bonded Bourbon

Redemption Whiskey is unveiling Redemption Single Barrel Bonded Bourbon, the brand’s first bottled-in-bond expression. The release is the first in its relaunched Higher Marques Collection and will launch nationally in September 2026 during National Bourbon Heritage Month.

READ THE STORY

Aged for a minimum of six years and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), the bourbon brings the individual character of a single barrel to the federal standards of bottled-in-bond whiskey.

It was distilled during a single distilling season at MGP’s Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. The whiskey is non-chill filtered and bottled by Redemption Barrel Selections in Frankfort, Kentucky. The mash bill is 60% corn, 36% wheat rye and 4% malted barley.

Every bottle comes from one individual aging barrel while meeting one identical federal standard. Each carries its own barrel number, distilling season, mash bill and age statement.

Redemption’s first bottled-in-bond release spends at least six years in oak, two years beyond the four-year federal minimum required under the Bottled-in-Bond Act.

The 1897 act mandates that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by one distiller, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof.

Each barrel was hand-selected by master blender Alan Kennedy for “exceptional character, structure, and balance.”

According to the brand, the whiskey “delivers a smooth, complex bourbon with bold character” and offers “rich oak, layered spice, and deep complexity that only time and unwavering commitment can deliver.”

The official tasting notes from the brand describe a nose of “vanilla and worn leather, layered with bright raspberry and a subtle thread of oak.” The palate opens with “a bold core of vanilla and toasted oak” leading into “rich crème brûlée, sweet corn, and warm baking spices.”

Redemption Single Barrel Bonded Bourbon carries a suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 750ml bottle. It will be available in retail stores and online at ReserveBar.com.

Alongside the launch, Redemption’s 18-Year-Old Bourbon from the Ancients Series will return to shelves in fall 2026 in limited quantities.

Priced at $399.99 for a 750ml bottle, it follows the series’ debut release in 2025.
