District Made Straight Rye

District Made // Washington D.C., USA
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.

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"Starts with lovely fruit and a bit of perfume. On a second sniff there are more traditional rye aromas of toasted grain and kitchen spices. The palate is luxuriously oily and shows a bit more maturity after the initial fruit. Towards the finish there's toasted nuts and salted butter. Overall, it’s a kind and generous rye."
