M.B. Roland's core products
are these, their White Dog corn whiskey, their Black Dog (yes, the Led Zepplin reference is intentional) smoky corn whiskey, and their authentic True Kentucky Shine |

With those spirits,
they produce a very good bourbon, a malt whiskey, and several specialty beverages, including their new Kentucky Mint Julep. John says that MBR's Mint Julep is the only one he's tasted that he feels he could even enjoy on the SECOND Saturday in May! |

M.B. Roland uses small
barrels, both for quicker aging and because their output doesn't really justify 53-gallon barrels yet. |

No, this isn't a
disaster. The liquid on the floor is water, leaking into the warehouse from the recent deluge. It only LOOKS as though a barrel has broken, spilling its contents onto the floor. |

This fascinating
display shows whiskey that has aged for exactly the same time in barrels that have been re-used. The bottle on the left was aged in a new-charred barrel, such as is required for bourbon whiskey. The bottle on the right is new make that has not been aged at all. The six bottles between them show the difference in coloration as the barrel is re-used over and again. |
