High-Rye Whiskey (80-100% Rye Mashbill)
MGP Ingredients (formerly LDI/Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana) developed the 95% rye mashbill that became the sourced base for dozens of rye whiskey brands during the rye revival. WhistlePig originally sourced 100% rye from Alberta Distillers in Canada.
Flavor Profile
Assertive, peppery, unapologetically grain-forward. Bold spice dominates. Magnificent in spirit-forward cocktails but can overwhelm delicate drinks.
