"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."
