Our tasting notes are as follows:
Color: Pale green tea
Nose: Wonderfully balanced with sweet (marshmallow and vanilla cream soda), spicy (cinnamon stick and cigar wrapper), and nutty (shaved almonds) then hints of rosewater and sandalwood
Palate: Delightfully oily and mouthcoating with the sweetness of reduced honey then Chinese rice candies and pronounced notes of orange essential oils with dry spice notes alongside -- more pronounced rosewater
Finish: Long and luxuriant with naval orange, vanilla, and brown spices
On the label: Sweet and spicy with abundant oil this luxuriant whisky is a perfect late summer/early fall dram
Founded in 1847, Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana (also known as LDI or MGP of Indiana) is one of America's powerhouse distilleries producing spirit for multiple well-known brands. While working on the 2014 Whisky Jewbilee festival blend we happened upon a very special single cask of light whiskey (or American grain whiskey) from this distillery. Inspired by this cask we decided to give the distillers of Lawrenceburg their fair due and bottled it as an LDI product. To our knowledge, no other independent bottler has ever released a single cask of American light whiskey at natural cask strength.
