Selected Spirits: Uncompromising, Unpretentious Rye
We love how this spicy, forward, rogue has always been ready to take on the world, one whiskey glass at a time. Sure of itself. Proudly unwilling to change its character over the years to be the new “it” drink. We especially love that, at last, rye whiskey is awash in a well-earned boom of rediscovery, and we’re honored to be at the heart of it.
At MGP, we help makers produce flavor profiles from velvety smooth to dry with that rye “bite”.
We love to talk rye.
