MGP 10 Year Straight Bourbon — Chapter One: Out of the Shadows
The First-Ever Bourbon Released Under the MGP Name
The distillery behind the curtain is revealed. For decades, MGP has quietly shaped American whiskey from behind the scenes — the source behind countless celebrated bourbon and rye brands, whispered about with respect among those in the know as an instant sign of quality. Now, for the first time ever, MGP is stepping into the light with a release bottled under its own name.
Chapter One: Out of the Shadows is hand-selected by Master Distiller Ian Stirsman and represents everything MGP is known for: depth, structure, and unmistakable quality. Aged a full 10 years and bottled at 111 proof (55.5% ABV), this straight bourbon is built on MGP's historic mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley — a high-rye recipe responsible for some of the most respected bourbon and rye whiskeys on the market today.
Since the label was first revealed to the whiskey community, anticipation has been extraordinary — Chapter One became one of the most-liked bourbon posts on Coming Whiskey's Instagram, out of over 800 posts, generating more excitement than releases from household-name brands with far larger followings.
