Redemption Specialty Series Sur Lee (2024 Release), 47%,

Borrowing a technique from winemakers, this ages with spent mash in the barrels, echoing the sur lie method used in aging wines on the lees, like champagne. The nose leads with peppery spices, toasted grain, and licorice candies. The palate is more muted, showing oak influence, buttered cornbread, and lemon tea, all atop a gentle prickle of spice. The finish remains spicy, with cinnamon and cardamom, plus freshly baked bread.
