For decades, MGP has stayed behind the scenes. Now, one of America’s largest whiskey producers is stepping forward with the launch of MGP Chapter One: Out of the Shadows, its first-ever namesake brand, bringing the legendary distiller’s whiskey and spirits expertise directly to consumers under its own name for the first time.

MGP Chapter One: Out of the Shadows is a limited-edition, 10-year-old straight bourbon whiskey that pays tribute to MGP’s decades-long influence on American whiskey and the craftsmanship behind some of the industry’s most acclaimed spirits.

Bottled at 111 proof, MGP Chapter One: Out of the Shadows is crafted from the distillery’s historic LBSV mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley. Master Distiller Ian Stirsman selectively blended barrels aged for a full decade in Rickhouse G, one of the distillery’s most celebrated warehouses, to showcase the character of MGP’s signature high-rye whiskey. 

The launch also coincides with the return of the MGP Distillery name to the historic Lawrenceburg, Indiana operation, marking a new chapter for the iconic distillery and reconnecting it with the name long recognized by retailers, distributors, collectors and enthusiasts as a mark of quality.

MGP Chapter One: Out of the Shadows debuts at Kentucky Bourbon Festival this weekend and will then be available in limited quantities nationwide this fall for a suggested retail price of $69.99 per 750mL bottle.
