Restaurant man Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah, I like it quite a bit. Definitely different. Very creamy, malty, and just a very agreeable pour. I would definitely buy it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 They've been distilling whiskey for quite some time. While I'm glad they're being transparent, why source? No pride in their product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awachatz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 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. Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshani Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurant man Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbus Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
