A Heritage of Rye Excellence

When George Ross opened the Ross & Squibb Distillery in 1847, he helped transform the small town of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, into what would become known as the “Rye Capital of the World.”
Nearly two centuries later, that same distillery still operates—now owned by MGP Ingredients under the Ross & Squibb Distillery name—producing acclaimed brands such as Rossville Union, Remus Bourbon, and Remus Gatsby Reserve.

The distillery sits atop a limestone-filtered aquifer, a natural source that reduces sulfur and iron content and enhances the whiskey’s clean, bold flavor. Combined with a long lineage of master distillers, that geology gives Lawrenceburg rye its unmistakable spicy, oak-driven depth.

Rossville Union – A Return to the Golden Age of Rye

Before bourbon took the spotlight, rye whiskey was the original American spirit. It was the foundation for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, and by the early 1900s, the Ross & Squibb Distillery was capable of storing over 60,000 barrels—making it one of the country’s largest rye producers.

Even during Prohibition, Ross & Squibb adapted to survive by shifting to industrial alcohol production, allowing it to outlast many competitors. That resilience preserved the legacy of Lawrenceburg’s whiskey tradition, which later helped fuel the modern rye revival we enjoy today.

Today, Rossville Union honors that history with small-batch and cask strength releases that showcase the true power and spice of rye.

Tasting Character (General Profile)

While every single barrel has its own signature, Rossville Union rye at cask strength typically offers:

• Nose: Deep oak spice, brown sugar, and light citrus with hints of cocoa.
• Palate: Intense rye spice layered with toffee, caramel, clove, and herbal mint.
• Finish: Long, dry, and warming—showcasing charred oak and sweet vanilla bean.

The 113.2 proof gives it extra body and richness without overpowering balance, making it perfect neat or with a drop of water.
