Detailed Description
In 2016 One Eight Distilling, a grain-to-glass distillery, united all of their products under one brand name “District Made””. This whiskey was originally called Rock Creek Rye but is now rebranded under the new umbrella. This straight rye whiskey is made from a mash bill of 60% rye, 27% malted rye, and 13% corn. It is aged a minimum of two years in new, charred American oak and bottled at 47% ABV.
District Made Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose is hot, with spicy rye notes standing out in front. Dark fruit, cherries, figs and dates add another dimension to the spice.
Palate: The beginning sits with brown sugar and oak, almost a like a Canadian whiskey and hints of Italian plum.
Finish: The finish is long and complex.
