A new single barrel rye quietly landed in Central Arkansas at the end of 2022, and for rye fans paying attention, it was a sleeper worth chasing.

According to a December 28, 2022 Facebook post by Gary Penna, Rossville Union Single Barrel Rye was released at Warehouse on Main, priced at $59.99, with 31 cases available in the run. Stickers were in the works at the time of release, with early buyers promised labels once they were completed.

Background: Rossville Union Rye Whiskey

Rossville Union is a rye-forward brand produced by MGP Ingredients in Lawrenceburg, Indiana—one of the most influential whiskey producers in modern American spirits.

The name Rossville Union pays homage to the historic Rossville Distillery, which originally operated on the same Indiana site in the 1800s. Today, MGP uses that legacy to showcase rye whiskey distilled, aged, and bottled entirely in-house, rather than sourced and rebranded.

What sets Rossville Union apart is its focus on traditional, high-rye mash bills and full transparency. While MGP is widely known for supplying rye whiskey to countless brands across the country, Rossville Union represents the distillery putting its own name on the label.

Typical Rossville Union Mash Bills

Although single barrels can vary, Rossville Union commonly uses:

• 95% rye / 5% malted barley, or
• 51% rye / 49% malted barley

Both mash bills emphasize spice, structure, and balance, with aging typically ranging from 4 to 7+ years depending on the release.

Why This Release Matters

Single barrel, cask strength rye at sub-$60 pricing doesn’t stay under the radar for long—especially when it comes from one of the most respected rye producers in the country. At 108.2 proof, this bottling lands in a sweet spot: bold enough to showcase rye spice, but approachable enough to drink neat without being punishing.

For Arkansas whiskey drinkers, releases like this highlight why local stores such as Warehouse on Main continue to earn a reputation for quietly landing quality barrels without hype-driven theatrics.

If you were lucky enough to grab one before the stickers arrived, this bottle represents a moment in time—one where great rye was still sitting on shelves, waiting for those who knew what to look for.
