Stop in for a drink.

Can't say that I've had a NE rye

Almost tried a new one the other night, but it was MGP juice, so I passed

What was the mash bill on the MGP? Their 95/5 is good but it is mint forward. (spearmint or mint tea flavored) Many places are buying that juice, re finishing it in their own barrels and/or finishing it in a wine barrel and bottling it under their own label, producing a quality produce. As with all juice, the older it gets the better it is (usually)
Their 51/45/4 is more sweet and like a bourbon because of all the corn. (the 45%) Minor Case Rye is a good example of that.

"MGP Ingredients has its own branded portfolio of spirits, which includes its own creations like George Remus Bourbon and Rossville Union Rye, as well as brands acquired from its 2021 purchase of Luxco, such as Ezra Brooks, Rebel, and Yellowstone. MGP also recently acquired Penelope Bourbon, a fast-growing brand that previously sourced its whiskey from MGP."

I have very good to excellent bottles of the labels mentioned above.
