If you are searching for high-quality live rosin in the Illinois cannabis market, Redemption Botanicals has consistently been one of the most reliable brands available. I recently picked up a jar of Oishii Live Rosin from their Mile High Melts line to see how it compared to some other premium rosin brands I’ve tried.
Redemption has become one of my go-to brands whenever I’m shopping for rosin in Illinois because I’ve had great experiences with nearly every jar I’ve picked up. After trying this batch of Oishii, it’s safe to say that streak continues.

The rosin itself had a beautiful golden color with a greasy, wet consistency, exactly what many concentrate enthusiasts look for when evaluating quality live rosin.
For this session, I loaded a generous glob into my Khalifa Kush Stündenglass Modül set to 500°F and let it run for about a minute.
The hit was incredibly smooth and flavorful.
On the initial inhale, I got a strong lemon candy flavor that leaned heavily into the citrus side of the terpene profile. On the exhale, a subtle gassy note came through, balancing out the sweetness nicely.
Overall, it delivered a very clean and enjoyable dab.

The effects kicked in almost immediately.
Right after the first hit, I felt a quick mental uplift with a light rush of euphoria. That heady feeling was followed by a gradual relaxing body high that started around my neck and worked its way down toward my lower back.
It’s not a strain that completely knocks you out, but it definitely helps you unwind and decompress after a long day.
Based on the terpene profile and overall effects, this strain may be helpful for people dealing with:
- Chronic stress
- Anxiety
- Fatigue
- Chronic pain
- Depression
- Headaches
Of course, everyone’s experience can vary, but this one leans toward a balanced hybrid effect that relaxes the body while keeping the mind uplifted.
Overall, this batch of Oishii Live Rosin is another excellent release from Redemption Botanicals.
From the bright citrus aroma and lemon candy flavor to the balanced relaxing effects, it checks all the boxes for what many cannabis consumers look for in a premium live rosin.
If you’re browsing dispensary menus in Illinois and see this one available, it’s definitely worth grabbing a jar.
