Over 90% of the world’s American Whiskey comes from 10 distilleries, all of which are located in the southern central states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana. The primary reasons for this are climate, water and expertise.
When we selected our distillery production partner it was critical that they had all three attributes and more. We needed their patience to work with us through the experiments and create a process to replicate the results for a consistently high quality Bourbon.
Well that’s when our friends at the award-winning MGP Distillery in Lawrenceberg, Indiana really came into their own. With over 150 years of distilling expertise, a plentiful supply of the best quality grains and a perfect spot for our barrels in their warehouses they became part of the Whiskey Thief story.
We believe their ability as a distilling partner to understand what we wanted to achieve and help us deliver it has been a key reason why they were recognized as Malt Advocate’s ‘2015 World Distiller of the Year’.
