Tasting Notes

Nose

Intense rye, dried herbs, a generous warmth. The barrel proof gives MGP's celebrated rye full expression. Beneath the spice, caramel, dried cherry and a robust warmth. Bold and unapologetic.

Palate

Full and spicy — rye pepper, dark caramel, a robust grain intensity. The barrel proof lets MGP's legendary rye character speak at full volume. Mid-palate brings cinnamon, dark fruit and a generous warmth. Dense and chewy.

Finish

Long, with rye spice and dark caramel sustaining powerfully.

Rossville Union is MGP's own brand — the distillery that produces rye whiskey for hundreds of other brands finally releasing under its own name, from its own address at the historic Rossville Union distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. The Barrel Proof expression presents MGP's celebrated rye distillate without dilution.

The irony is delicious. MGP has been the unacknowledged source behind some of America's most acclaimed rye whiskeys — WhistlePig, Bulleit Rye, Templeton, and dozens more have used MGP rye. Rossville Union is the distillery saying: why not us?

Rossville Union Barrel Proof is one of the best-value cask-strength ryes in America. The MGP rye is excellent — it has been excellent for decades, quietly powering other brands' success. Now released under its own name at barrel proof, the quality speaks for itself. The house rye, finally at home.
