Taste

• Drinks hotter due to the rye spice

  • Mild honey sweetness

• Toasted Marshmallow (more toasted than marshmallow)
• Cold Black tea
• Smooths out into a velvety finish

Final Thoughts

At 104 proof, this has some fire to it, and the rye makes it even hotter.  By no means is this a negative.  A spicy rye with a hint of sweetness, it starts strong but softens as it goes, ending in a velvety finish.  The sweetness is mild, and we compare it to a black tea with a little honey.

For this being Belle of Dayton's first whiskey, I can say without a doubt that I am excited for more.  To come out of the gate with a Rye instead of a bourbon is a risky move, but it sets them apart, and since they succeeded in the bottle, puts them in front of the pack. 

Notes:

• Personally, local craft distilleries always have a spot on my shelf and in my collection
  • Which means I get really excited when I find a new distillery that is making their own whiskey.
• Belle of Dayton Distillery has been around since 2013
  • Three brothers decided that it was a good idea to go into the distilling business when everyone else was going into the brewery business 
  • They took classes in Kentucky and Chicago before renovating a building that is located in the historic Oregon District of Dayton. 
  • Got their start just making vodka and gin and they took their time producing their whiskey
    • They make a vodka called Hell’s Vodka that combines the hottest peppers
• Prior to prohibition, Detrick Distilling Co. operated a distillery in Tippecanoe and sold its copper-distilled rye whiskey in Dayton. 
  • These brothers decided they wanted to attempt to bring back a part of history to the city of dayton. 
• This bottle, has a blend of 4 different rye barrels (53 gallon) 
  • A 6
