WHAT WE’RE DRINKING:

Justin

  • Whisky: Old Scout American Whiskey

  • Distillery: MGP

  • Style: American Whiskey

  • Description: Old Scout American Whiskey is a union of two whiskies distilled from classic bourbon mash bills. One is aged in new oak barrels and the other matures in rejuvenated, re-charred bourbon casks. While this unique aging excuses the marriage from being called bourbon, it shares all of the character and drinkability you would expect from a whiskey on the brink of being one.
