Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey

Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey | 750 mL | 104 Proof | 52% alc/vol

ORIGINAL FOUR-BARREL RELEASE

Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey was originally released as a true four-barrel small-batch whiskey, distilled by Belle of Dayton Distillery and bottled at 104 proof. The whiskey was aged in just four 53-gallon, hand-toasted #4 char white oak barrels from the Ohio River Valley. This original expression helped establish the Detrick Whiskey line and was the first straight rye whiskey distilled in Dayton, Ohio since Prohibition.

Today, Detrick Rye has evolved into Detrick Single Barrel Full Proof Rye Whiskey. Rather than combining four barrels into each release, every barrel is now bottled individually at full proof, allowing the unique character of each barrel to stand on its own.

The original four-barrel Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey remains an important part of our history, with the individual releases and tasting notes preserved below.

Detrick Rye is now released exclusively as Detrick Single Barrel Full Proof Rye Whiskey.

Tasting Notes

Every batch of Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey is its own release. Each is a four-barrel blend, and the barrels, fill dates, and dump dates change from batch to batch, so no two taste exactly alike. That said, a clear house style runs through all four releases. These are the notes that come up most often.

Nose: Citrus, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, baking spice, and oak.

Palate: Cocoa, cinnamon, rye spice, black pepper, orange, sweet corn, and brown sugar.

Finish: Rye spice, cinnamon, cocoa, orange citrus, and dry oak.
