whiskeytango Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 anyone have a contact at MGP that doesn't suck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickFloss Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 MGP is cutting out all new fill and unqualified customers end of this year. Qualification required a three year plan for purchasing intent with no guarantee of access. If you didn’t receive a solicitation for a three year plan you’re not going to make the cut. They’re cutting all custom runs and are moving to a model where they only want to sell 2 year to the people they’re cutting out of new fill production. Your MGP rep likely doesn’t suck, their company is going through incredibly severe changes to accommodate actual and expected growth and corporate ambitions. If these reps want to keep their jobs they can’t be open and honest about why you’re not getting service because they’re trying to keep their jobs. We’re opening our books for customers no longer able to be serviced by MGP for white dog (totes and tankers only) looking to start taking on new customers 2023. Know this doesn’t answer your question and you didn’t ask, but reach out if you’d like more information! Cheers slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeytango Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks for the info but still looking for a contact. Sounds like I might be out of luck since they have very little inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlickFloss Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I’m assuming you tried ultra pur. What about bardstown bbn co? middlewest spirits has been incredibly active in sourcing lately but I don’t think it’s aged inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoJoe Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 @SlickFloss, do you have a contact at Bardstown for sourcing aged product? Or do they only do custom runs, with anyone having BBC stock in-house having purchased it from them prior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickFloss Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hey Joe, I don't have any relationships at BBC personally we have family who works elsewhere in bardstown and our consultants clash with their leadership (allegedly) but I heard they're great people to work for and make great product. I would imagine they are swimming in customers right now with their KY pedigree as well as MGPs shift in focus and culling of their herd. They did buy Green River which means they may have capacity for new fill but aged stock is hard to come by and they're really good at selling it. It's always worth a call! Or give White Dog a call if you're just looking for KY bourbon barrels, they have young barrels and old barrels for sale currently.... but you know.... KY bourbon per bbl price is through the roof Cheers, Slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
