"This is a great example of why it™s too reductive to disregard sourced whiskey " MGP or otherwise. While this was indeed distilled in Lawrenceburg, Ind., it proved to be unlike any other MGP-produced whiskey in our tasting. That might be because of its minimum 7 years spent in barrel; it could have more to do with the very specific 56.13 percent ABV bottling strength; or it might be a combination of both, as well as other factors. What™s most important is the whiskey in the bottle, which has deep notes of maple, mesquite, brown sugar, and cloves, as well as a lengthy, fresh fennel and caraway finish."
