District Made Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This bourbon looks to an ingredient from the past that was developed in the 1880s in the hollows of Virginia, Hickory King Corn. The large white kernels of the Hickory King provide a subtle sweetness, while the rye in the four-grain mash bill, adds a bold kick of spice. To create this signature style, distillery distills two different mash bills, one wheated and one high-rye, ages them individually, and then marries a few barrels together. The result is a four-grain bourbon that is drier with a rich texture.

Nose: The nose of District Made Straight Bourbon is warm and inviting, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. Subtle hints of dried fruit, such as fig and raisin, and a touch of spice create a rich and complex aroma.

Palate: This bourbon delivers a smooth and balanced experience on the palate. Notes of ripe fruit, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon complement the sweet flavors of caramel and honey. The oak influence adds warmth and depth, creating a well-rounded flavor profile with a creamy texture.

Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of oak, vanilla, and a gentle spice. A soft sweetness remains on the palate, leaving a refined and enjoyable aftertaste that reflects the bourbon’s rich character.

District Made Straight Bourbon Whiskey pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Enjoy it with grilled meats such as pork or chicken to complement the bourbon’s bold flavors. For a dessert pairing, consider a spiced apple tart or a caramel bread pudding to enhance its sweet and spicy notes. The bourbon’s smooth and creamy character also pairs well with aged cheeses like gouda, sharp cheddar, or blue cheese.
