GEORGE REMUS STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

Indiana's limestone-rich water and grain belt position it as a serious sourcing hub for American whiskey, and MGP Distillery in Lawrenceburg is where George Remus Straight Bourbon is produced. Named after the real Prohibition-era bootlegger who exploited medicinal whiskey permits to build a supply empire, the bourbon is mash-forward with a rye-accented grain bill. It opens with maple and vanilla, picks up rye spice through the mid-palate, and finishes smooth with a lingering vanilla sweetness.
