The Producer

Redemption Whiskey, according to the lore spun up by its founders, “was created serendipitously when [Schmier and Kanbar] uncovered a cache of Rye Whiskey barrels they believed to be the perfect expression of this classic American spirit.” It is today made at the infamous MGP distillery in Indiana, but in what seems to be a nod to the fact coming more clean likely wins you more fans, Redemption at least mentions its whiskies are “distilled in Indiana and bottled in small batches in Bardstown, KY with each batch and bottle number hand written on every label.”

The whiskies under the Redemption label – particularly the special, limited edition rye offerings that are barrel proof and range in age from 6 to 10 years – have “garnered accolades in prestigious competitions including achieving Gold and Double Gold medals in the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.” The brand as a whole has also tripled in size in the last two years “despite demand consistently exceeding supply.”
