Distilled from Rye, White Corn, Wheat, & Malted Barley
Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey is both distilled and bottled by Belle of Dayton Distillery in Dayton, Ohio. This four-grain pot-distilled rye whiskey is made from a mash bill of traditional rye, white corn, wheat, and malted barley. The name Detrick comes from Detrick Distilling Co., a pre-prohibition distillery that sold double copper distilled whiskey in Dayton under registered distillery No. 60, 10th Ward. Established 1884, the Detrick Distillery was located in Tippecanoe City (now Tipp City), Ohio. Additionally, they had a retail store and mail order department that was located about 20 miles north at 313-315 E 1 st. Street in Dayton, Ohio.
Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey Batch 4 is a true “small batch” whiskey, made from just 4 barrels, each a 53 Gallon hand toasted # 4 Char White Oak barrel coming from the Ohio River Valley.

These barrels were all dumped and blended on 04/20/2023. Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey is the first straight rye whiskey to be distilled in Dayton, Ohio since prohibition.
