Old Dominick Distillery (Memphis, TN), beginning September, will be releasing a series of Small Batch Bourbons from their estate-produced distillate.

Master Distiller, Alex Castle, says this of the release, “As a native Kentuckian, I couldn’t resist producing a true bourbon in Tennessee, but I knew ithad to be unique. That’s where the high-rye mash bill came in. Instead of deciding on one singular bottleproof for an initial release, I thought it would be more fun to experiment with blending four unique batches at four unique proofs. With proofs ranging from as low as 90 to as high as 117, consumers can experience every aspect and profile that this singular mash bill can provide.”
