Title:
Rossville Union Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey
Description:
Classification: Straight Rye
Company: MGP
Distillery: MGP
Release Date: Ongoing
Proof: 112.6
Age: NAS (Company website states 5 and 6 years old)
Mashbill: Blend of MGP’s 51% Rye, 45% Corn, 4% Malted Barley and 95% Rye, 5% Malted Barley mashbills
Color: Copper
MSRP: $70 (2020)
Nose:
Rye spice, Straw, Hint of citrus, Summer fruits, Bold and straightforward
Palate:
Rye grain, Fresh baked bread, Candied summer fruit, Apricot, Spicy with a gentle sweetness
Finish:
Rye spice, Vanilla, Oak, Leather, Twinge of pure alcohol, Lingering mild anise aftertaste
Overall:
At 112.6 this is understandably bold, but not to the degree I thought it would be. And that’s a good thing. This is a fruit-forward, sweet and savory rye that drinks well. It also features a unique flavor agent that I had a hard time pinning down, unsure if it’s yeasty, herbal, floral, or just anise note intensifying during its finish. Regardless, this is an enjoyable barrel proof rye that packs punch, but doesn’t gut punch you like some high proof rye whiskeys often do.
