About the product: Before Prohibition, Detrick Distilling Co. sold double copper-distilled whiskey in Dayton under the Belle of Dayton brand and founder Frank Detrick’s motto: “While we live, let’s live.” After Prohibition, the brand was lost to time, until the LaSelle brothers rediscovered a bottle buried for a century in a basement under a pile of debris. In 2014, inspired by this long-ago spirit, the LaSelle brothers opened Belle of Dayton Distillery and proudly brought back Detrick Fine Whiskies – genuine and unique single barrel bourbon. Drawing naturally filtered water from the area’s Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer, they distilled a rare, five-grain mashbill of corn, oats, rye, wheat, and malted barley. The intricate flavor and full-bodied texture was preserved by slow pot distillation, then aged in a hand-toasted, 53-gallon white oak cask. Each bottle drawn from a single barrel, Detrick Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers an elegant sipping experience nearly a decade in the making, after a century of anticipation.
