MGP Chapter One Out of The Shadows 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

MGP Chapter One: Out of the Shadows is a landmark bottling, the first whiskey ever to wear the MGP name on its own label. For decades the Lawrenceburg, Indiana distillery quietly supplied many of American whiskey's most celebrated brands, and in 2021 the historic site took the name Ross & Squibb. With Chapter One, the storied producer finally steps forward under its own banner. The whiskey itself is a 10 year old straight bourbon drawn from MGP's signature high-rye recipe of 60 percent corn, 36 percent rye, and 4 percent malted barley, the same mashbill behind countless acclaimed sourced releases. Every barrel matured in Rickhouse G, a brick warehouse on the Lawrenceburg campus dating to 1936, before master distiller Ian Stirsman assembled the finished batch. Bottled at 111 proof, or 55.5 percent ABV, it delivers the assertive character that made this recipe famous: bold rye spice and toasted oak framing caramel, dark chocolate, ripe cherry, and orange peel, closing on a long, peppery finish. One point of clarity for accuracy-minded buyers: although the product title references Kentucky, this bourbon is distilled and fully matured in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. As the debut of the Chapter One series, Out of the Shadows arrives in limited quantities nationwide and signals more namesake releases to come. For drinkers who have long admired MGP-distilled bourbon through other labels, this is the source presenting itself directly, at meaningful age and proof, with ninety years of distilling history standing behind the bottle.
