I love MGP juice. The Belle Meade brand revival was pure genius! I enjoy this as a workhorse batch proof option. It has changed a lot as the bottle has gone down. It’s a little unbalanced with flavors and the nose is pretty hot but it is almost a 120 proof whiskey. It handles ice well which validates that I really enjoy the regular 90 proof Belle Meade quite well neat. This batch is a cherry bomb and gives a nice Indiana hug. There are glimpses of a salted caramel and pipe tobacco which I just love. I will say though that while I enjoy this offering, I would go single barrel MGP cask strength if given a chance as some have real magic in them. This is a decent value at 60 bucks but it isn’t a steal. Enjoy!
