Products You May Like

Lately we introduced you protection of O.H. Ingram’s River Aged Rye, MGP inventory which ages in a floating rickhouse on the Mississippi River. Ingram’s line now runs to 4 whiskeys, together with this straight bourbon, which additionally begins with MGP spirit. No formal age assertion, however as a straight bourbon, it means the whiskey is a minimum of 2 years of age.

That is stable bourbon, if not solely shocking. A robust nostril, barely beefy, melds barrel char, darkish chocolate, and peanut shell notes right into a cohesive and interesting complete. It’s a denser whiskey than most at what’s clearly a reasonably younger age, calmly peppery and customarily woodsy. Once more nothing surprising on the palate: Some peanut, some spice, a layer of apple butter, and a protracted, wood-forward end. Notes of dill pop because the whiskey evolves a bit in glass. Issues get chewy on the again finish, with a contact of prune so as to add only a trace of fruit to the combination.

As with the rye, it’s not low cost contemplating the age and provenance, but in addition as with the rye, it’s a stable whiskey with a lot to like about it. I’ve actually gone again to the properly greater than as soon as in getting ready this overview. Giddy up.

105 proof.
