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

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.)

They list it as a few years, which in my book means three. But I don't think there is a legal definition of few.

Two years to be labeled Straight Bourbon, but if it is aged less than four the age statement must be on the label.

Few means more than two.

Ok, picked up a bottle yesterday. It is not bad but not inspiring in any way. But it was fun to have some bourbon barrel aged beers along with it, a fun way to spend an evening.

Best regards, Tony

Finished off a bottle of this the other day. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Not sure how much of the beer I can taste, but I found it quite nice.

First Bourbon-Barreled-Beer; now Beer-Barreled Whiskey.....

... That was from a beer that was bourbon barrel aged. Cycle of life I guess.
