Rossville Union Master Crafted Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey

The Rossville Distillery opened its doors in 1847 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the then-upcoming rye whiskey capital of the world. Located near the Ohio River, the distillery had a beneficial position for trade, as well as an aquifer directly beneath it that provided limestone-filtered water. During their humble beginnings, a single blind horse was pulling the grist mill, capping the production at 2 barrels per week.But by the 20th century, the company had come a long way, capable of storing 60 thousand barrels at once. Rye whiskey was on the rise and the distillery was up to the challenge. The spirit was immensely popular before Prohibition and the old fashioned was created among other rye cocktails.Rossville Union was resurrected by MGP and continues the tradition at the historic 1847 distillery, focusing on masterfully-crafted rye whiskey. Their Master Crafted Straight Rye Whiskey Barrel Proof expression is a testament to that. They carefully select barrels, aged 5 and 6 years in new American charred oak barrels, creating a full-bodied and bold whiskey with plenty of spice, caramel, and a balanced smokiness thats bottled at 112.6 proof.Grab your bottle today!
