While certainly welcomed by everyone, perhaps not many lost their minds about these new brands simply because there was already so much good MGP whiskey on the market. Even casual drinkers had become aware of the Indiana phenomenon. They were, in a sense, competing primarily with their own distillate being sold under other labels. The special releases, however, stood out. From the George Remus Repeal Batches to the Barrel Proof releases of Rossville Union, it was clear they were holding back a lot of their best stocks for their own brands. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver the years, MGP has impressed the general whiskey drinking populace with the quality of their stuff across the board, but they have made particular fans of Rye drinkers, especially with their famous 95% rye mashbill (Which you may know in various forms as Bulleit Rye, James E. Pepper 1776 Rye, Dickel Rye, Angel's Envy Rye, Redemption Rye, Whistlepig 12 year Old World, etc.). But they also make two other, lesser known Rye mashbills that have always piqued our interest: A more \"Kentucky Style\" high corn recipe (51% rye, 45% corn, 4% barley), and especially the oddball barley heavy mashbill (51% rye, 49% barley). When we were approached about snapping up a single barrel pick of Rossville, we were tickled that the tasting was mashbill-blind. All we knew going in were the different barrel numbers. So it's either a testament to the exactitude of our palates, or the fact that we just get excited about the oddballs in any group that we ended up blindly selecting a barrel of the high barley Rye. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the nose, the spicy-fruity rye is immediately apparent, cutting through a bready and rich malt aroma, springtime florals, grass, peach, pear, and cocoa nib.

Kentucky style rye, on paper, looks like reluctant rye, just barely not bourbon. Most of the big distilleries that bother making rye at all make it at the legal minimum of 51% rye, leaving room for a lot of corn. In our experience though, tasting samples of Jim Beam's rye over the last few years, the profile is often still assertively rye forward for some reason, whether it be a difference in the grain they are sourcing, or perhaps a particularly rye-friendly yeast strain in the fermentation. Whatever it is, it makes great Kentucky rye, with enough richness from the corn to welcome in new rye drinkers, but still unabashedly scratching that spicy, herbal, complex rye itch that we have constantly.
