MGP Announces Launch of Premium Flavored Gin

28 Sep 2016 --- MGP, supplier of premium distilled spirits and specialty wheat proteins and starches, has announced the development of four new distilled gins, each featuring a distinctive flavor profile. The additions consist of distilled orange, lemon-lime, citrus berry and cucumber gins. 

They are available to bottlers and marketers of branded spirits products this month.

"We are excited to provide customers with increased choices by adding these great tasting, high quality gins to our portfolio of premium spirits," said David Dykstra, vice president of beverage alcohol sales and marketing. 

"They join our well-established line of heritage gins, which have traditional flavor characteristics and have been key to MGP becoming the largest supplier of distilled gin in the country."

Distilled gin has been a core competency of MGP since shortly after the company's founding 75 years ago. Among MGP's capabilities is its expertise in helping customers create custom gin formulations.

"We are able to do this in three principal ways," Dykstra said. "Customers can 1) use any single premium gin that we supply as their own per their exact specifications; 2) combine any of the gins from the selections we offer; or 3) utilize the talents of our team of experts to assist them in formulating a premium gin from start to finish."

Dykstra added: "A solid area of focus for us, along with delivering only the highest quality, is helping customers differentiate their brands across markets that range from regional to global in scope. Aligned with this is our ability to offer an impressive selection of gins developed to meet changing consumer demands and keep their product lines fresh."

That ability is further strengthened with the addition of the four new gins and the expansive variety of oil and dried botanical recipes from which customers are able to select.
