MGP Distillery

For generations, the MGP name has been synonymous with high-quality American whiskey. As one of the largest whiskey producers in the country, this historic Lawrenceburg distillery has crafted spirits for hundreds of acclaimed brands. Retailers, distributors, collectors and enthusiasts have long recognized it as a mark of quality, all while it operated largely behind the scenes.

The roots run deep. George Ross founded Rossville Distillery on this ground in 1847. During Prohibition, Cincinnati’s George Remus built a whiskey empire across the region and kept warehouses on the Rossville grounds. Seagram acquired the distillery in 1933, and after several changes in ownership, MGP took the helm in 2011.

One thing has stayed constant: the water. An underground aquifer beneath the site supplies the limestone-filtered water that has shaped the character of the whiskey made here for nearly 180 years.
