What does Seagram’s, Universal Studios, and Indiana rye have in common? In this episode of Tortured Bourbon, Heather and B dive into the wild rise, fall, and resurrection of one of the most influential distilleries in America: MGP. Learn how a Kansas company bought a legendary distillery for just $11 million—and ended up producing some of the best bourbon and rye whiskey on the shelf today. Featuring tastings of Rossville Union Bottled-in-Bond and George Remus Single Barrel, this episode pulls back the curtain on the whiskey you thought you knew.

In this third episode of Pour Decisions Wednesday, we pour one out for Indiana’s heritage distilling with a lesser-known wheated bourbon that’s been turning quiet heads in craft whiskey circles: William Dalton Bottled in Bond Wheated Bourbon from Spirits of French Lick.

Forget the mass-produced mash bills and corporate-age statements—this is bourbon the old-school way: grain-to-glass, pot-stilled, and made with locally sourced ingredients. At 100 proof and over four years old, this craft wheater pays tribute to William Dalton, an early Indiana distiller whose legacy lives on in this small-batch bottle.
