I spent a lot of time in the store yesterday. Annoying the staff... but whatever.

Amazing the number of whiskeys "Distilled in Indiana". I know you told me this, but I just started really paying attention. Especially since I am very interested in being as "local" as I can be.

MGP was the commercial distillery. Midwest Grain Products. They sold their juice to a huge number of upstart distilleries. THey need 2 year old Rye or 4 year old Bourbon to legally sell it as that. It has changed to Ross and Squibb and started selling a couple of their own labels. Remus, Rossville Union are 2 of their private labels.
 
The good thing about 'Scotch' is that is must be by law distilled and aged in Scotland for at least the first three years of it's life. :thumbsup:

Ted and I drove down to Hy Vee on Blairs Ferry in Cedar Rapids to check out Dave Johnson's latest barrel picks. This is one I didn't expect to like so much but you never know until you sample. It's a good thing I bought 2 bottles. This one might not last very long. This one loves to set for 15 min or so to get happy. (like most do)

Nose:
Subtle sweet with a bit of barrel char. I get some frosting and almond. (I love to call it marzipan)

Palate:
Let it set it just get's better and more complex. It starts out with caramel with a creamy feel. Black pepper, and fades into notes of cinnamon and chocolate. There's a creamy mouth feel that makes you salivate wanting more. Those flavors last as long as I am typing (and correcting the errors). Cocoa flavor fades into the long finish along with a bit of oak and caramel. It's 118.1 proof and let's you know it early in the palate with a nice mouth warming feel but no throat burning or heartburn. There's a lot going on here, just take the time with it and enjoy the ride. All the flavors are subtle and none are overbearing. I love spirits like this. Wow, after 15 min of typing this it has turned into a creamy, caramel, chocolate candy. Enjoy!
