Mississippi may have been the first state to ratify Prohibition and the last to repeal it, but nowhere is safe from the Bourbon boom. With the release of Rich Grain Distilling Co. Bourbon Whiskey, the first Bourbon to be made in Mississippi is now available.

Rich Grain uses two separate mash bills for their Bourbon. Bill #1 is 66% corn, 17% malted barley, and 17% rye. Bill #2 is 66% corn, 17% malted barley, and 17% wheat. Each Bourbon is distilled and aged for two years separately, but the finished product consists of a select barrel from each recipe blended together and bottled at 90 proof.

Rich Grain Distilling Co. Bourbon Whiskey is now available in 750ml bottles on shelves across the state of Mississippi.
