Barrel Proof, Pre-Prohibition Style
MB Roland started in 2009 on an old Amish dairy farm in Pembroke — Kentucky's first fully grain-to-glass craft distillery — and never watered anything down, literally. This flagship bourbon is uncut and unfiltered: what the barrel held is what the bottle holds, usually somewhere between 105 and 115 proof, with each batch hand-labeled and numbered. The white-corn mash and copper-pot distillation give it a sweet, old-school character. Among bourbons, it's the craft-barrel-proof bottle for drinkers who want the full-strength Kentucky experience — and a look at MB Roland's line shows the same philosophy across every release.
Tasting Notes
The distillery's own notes describe it as smooth and sweet, with vanilla, caramel, toffee and pralines. The white-corn mash keeps it rich and rounded even at barrel strength, with the rye adding a warm spice underneath.
How to Enjoy
At barrel proof it rewards patience — try it neat first, then add water drop by drop to find your proof. Over a large cube it opens beautifully, and it makes a powerful Old Fashioned.
