About the product: Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey is a true “small batch” whiskey, made from just four barrels, each a 53-gallon, hand-toasted #4 char white oak barrel coming from the Ohio River Valley. Detrick Straight Rye Whiskey is the first straight rye whiskey to be distilled in Dayton, Ohio, since Prohibition.

Pre-Prohibition, Detrick Distilling Co. sold double copper-distilled rye whiskey in Dayton, Ohio. Its founder, Frank Detrick’s, motto was: “While we live, let’s live.” Inspired by the ambition of this long-ago spirit, the LaSelle Brothers ventured to create whiskey – genuine and unique. Drawing naturally filtered, mineral-rich water from the area’s Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer, they mashed in a rare grain bill of traditional rye, white corn, wheat, and malted barley. The intricate flavor and full-bodied texture was preserved by slow pot distillation and aged in hand-toasted, white oak casks. Nearly a decade in the making, and relieving a century of anticipation, Belle of Dayton Distillery has proudly brought back Detrick, the first rye whiskey made in Dayton since Prohibition.
