About this bottle

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.

Gyozafox 3.5

This tastes more mature, and therefore more complex, than it “should” for a ~2 year old. Nicely balanced between spicy, sweet, and leggy/rich; the short finish actually sends you in eagerly for the next sip — and it gets better the more one sips away. The malty milky chocolate notes and a light brown sugar trace are present in both the nose and the taste, pleasantly tying everything together; it’s *just* sweet enough. I could drink or mix quite a bit of this, and I’m not a huge rye fan.

TBaker05 3.5

Nose: pumpernickel bread from Outback with some floral notes Palate: pumpernickel bread from Outback Finish: feel more in roof of my mouth and back of throat, warm and not overwhelming Overall: like this rye and will definitely look for it when I’m in the DC area again.

m pip 4.0

Grassy and slightly syrupy on the nose. Sweet, full, and spicy with a light fire. Very smooth going down. Light, pleasant aftertaste.

Chris Vazquez 4.0

Nothing special, grassy, smooth, a great sipper. Would give this to someone who has never had rye before. Great base

ant guy 4.0

A wonderful woody and spicy nose, the front end is light with wood and spice, and the spice lingers at the back.

BuffaloRoots 4.0

A solid Rye. Balanced. A great Rye. Great finish. Salty and toffee
