Eight & Sand Blended Bourbon Whiskey

Eight & Sand was launched in MGP Ingredients hometown of Atchison, Kansas at the Atchison Railroad Museum, home to the 811 locomotive. The 811 is featured on the Eight & Sand label. Eight & Sand refers to the eighth (and fastest) notch on a locomotive’s throttle and the sand used on the wheels to prevent slipping. To wish a train crew an “Eight & Sand” is akin to “smooth sailing.” Eight & Sand celebrates the timeless journey along the American railway with a classic tribute whiskey crafted by the MGP Distillery team in historic Lawrenceburg, Indiana. You’ll often hear this distillery referred to as the old Seagrams Distillery. In fact, the words are still emblazoned across the top of the massive brick structure.

Distillery Information

Headquartered in Atchison, Kansas, MGP began in 1941 as a small distillery operation in the heart of America’s grain belt. Founder Cloud L. Cray, Sr., felt the Company’s location and existing infrastructure were an ideal base from which to grow a successful business that would serve the needs of its customers. From the beginning, MGP has maintained a strong family-oriented culture, kept intact by three generations of the Cray family. This has greatly influenced the Company’s resilience in the face of various challenges, including periods of major domestic and global economic downturns. Collaboration and the ability to adapt to change are hallmarks of MGP’s culture and principal reasons behind its success and longevity.
