LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MGP (Nasdaq: MGPI) has launched their first Single Barrel release for George Remus Bourbon. George Remus Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey is offered at cask strength in two mash bills that reflect MGP's signature high-rye bourbon character. Participating accounts in the Single Barrel program met with the distillery team in Lawrenceburg in early 2020 to taste, select and order their preferred mash bills. Bottled annually, the George Remus Single Barrel Bourbon program is an entirely custom offer shipped in personalized packaging to each participating retailer, together with the original barrel. Select retailers have also opted to label their bottles as a 2020 Single Barrel Selection to showcase the collectible aspect of this new offering.
