It thus makes it quite fascinating that MGP is out with its own bottling, which you can only get a hold of at this festival in its hometown on these two days if you donate $100 or more to the Greater Cincinnati United Way. As an added bonus MGP master distiller Greg Metze, for who it is named for, will be on hand to sign each bottle.
As for what is actually in the bottle, it is described by MGP as consisting of
20% 2005 Bourbon (21% Rye), 20% 2005 Bourbon (36% Rye), and 60% 2008 Bourbon (21% Rye). Showcasing subtle grain differences, this finely crafted combination delivers a rich full taste with slight vanilla notes and a spicy finish.
The distillery doesn’t offer much more information then that on it, but a check of the labels database from the U.S. Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau reveals it is a 80 proof offering stored in a 750 ml bottle. It is a curiosity to consider picking up at the least if you are in the area, if nothing else to compare against some of the private label releases which use MGP juice.
