This got pitched to me today and I have to admit it was a nice pour. What we call 'interesting whiskey'
Its MGPI (says distilled in Lawrenceberg Indiana) with 90 days finished in new holland brewery's dragon milk beer barrels. Aside from the creamy, rounder, flavor I liked the fact that it was mid twenty$$ wholesale. Distributor said it was 5 year bourbon but I'm not betting any money on that. Tasted older than 2 for sure. Anybody had this?
Yeah, I like it quite a bit. Definitely different. Very creamy, malty, and just a very agreeable pour. I would definitely buy it again.
They've been distilling whiskey for quite some time. While I'm glad they're being transparent, why source? No pride in their product?
Unlike the rye, the MGPI bourbon is not to my liking. Almost everybody who uses it finishes it in some way. Of the ones I've tasted, the New Holland is the most successful. I agree with the 'creamy, malty' description.
Thanks for reminding me about this, have been wanting to try and will go get a bottle today.
Will report back later.
Best regards, Tony
Their primary product is their Zeppelin Bend American Malt. It's OK. They have made some other malt whiskeys, a rye, a hop-infused gns faux tequila, rum & a pretty good gin.Quote:

I enjoyed this product at the price of $29.99. I let the empty glencairn sit out overnight and it smelt solely like beer the next morning.

I've seen it but haven't bought it, but I'm curious as to the labeling. If it's aged at least two years they could legally call it straight bourbon whiskey, couldn't they? (Their literature just says "aged for years" without specifying, but the plural implies more than one.)
4 years to be labeled straight I believeQuote:
