District Made Bottled In Bond Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

District Made Spirits in Washington, DC describes itself as, "The Spirit of DC Made With the Heart of Rye." Their limited release of a bottled in bond bourbon embraces that ethos with a Corn/Rye mash bill of 58% Corn, 25% Abruzzi Rye, and 17% Malted Rye. The rye shines in this expression, from the nose to the palate. Despite the heavy rye content and 100 proof, the finish is rather short. If you are a rye fan then this is a bottled in bond for you.

Tasting neat: Nose brings red apples and deep oak with rye spice and licorice and dark honey. Palate offers rich honey and allspice, with black pepper. Finish is short and sweet, with more honeyed oak.
