They have a micro-distillery set up in Templeton, which they use (they say) for experimental runs of potential future products. <br /><br />As for all of the products that use MGPI distillate, it's a long list and, since you can't get it from them, an almost impossible one to compile. For example, Bulleit rye, George Dickel Rye, Templeton Rye, Redemption Rye, Old Scout Rye, and Angel's Envy Rye are all MGPI's 95% rye recipe.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-67357670176542406322013-04-01T15:40:06.161-05:002013-04-01T15:40:06.161-05:00Just subscribed. can't wait to see it.
And a ...Just subscribed. can't wait to see it.<br /><br />And a question: to your knowledge, is Templeton Rye still the MGPI stuff? I ran across a bottle that said something like (and now I wish I'd taken a picture) "produced and bottled by Templeton Distillers, Templeton, IA." Do they have a still, and are they producing their own product now, or is it Lawrenceburg Rye?<br /><br />(I also see that Angel's Envy is extending their line to, you guessed it, a 95% rye. Sounds very familiar. Is there a list of all the MGPI rye brands out there? I'd love to do a tasting.)Vidiothttp://www.cocktailians.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-26286485402453273252013-03-31T09:30:54.474-05:002013-03-31T09:30:54.474-05:00Ok Chuck, ya got me.

I'm always interested in the historical as well as the current and Chuck never disappoints!<br />Keep 'em coming, Dude; I can hardly wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
