One of our favorite craft bourbons of last year came from the Belle of Dayton Distillery with their 002 Single Barrel Bourbon. Ever since, we've been talking with the team about having a single barrel of our own, and today it's finally here.
While they are still fairly new to us here at Seelbach's, a quick scroll through their Instagram would show the demand for their products seems both high and wide reaching. Rightfully so, Belle of Dayton has been producing their own spirits since 2014. Previous full proof bourbons have sold out quite quickly, and we imagine the same will happen with this delicious 7 year barrel. It draws a lot of similarities to a Four Roses OESO or OESK single barrel, and if you know me, you know that's a great thing.\xa0
Pre-prohibition, Detrick Distilling Co. sold double copper-distilled whiskey in Dayton under Registered Distillery No. 60, 10th Ward. Their founder, Frank Detrick’s motto: “While we live, let’s live.” Inspired by the ambition of this long-ago spirit, the LaSelle Brothers ventured to create a bourbon whiskey—genuine and unique.

Drawing naturally filtered water from the area’s Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer, they distilled a rare 5-grain bourbon mash bill of corn, oats, rye, wheat, and malted barley, and rye mash bill of traditional rye, white corn, wheat, and malted barley.

Nearly a decade in the making and relieving a century of anticipation, Belle of Dayton Distillery proudly brings back Detrick Fine Whiskies, the first Bourbon and Rye made in Dayton since Prohibition.

The nose is perfumed red fruits and custard. Sweet, beautifully spiced, and inviting.\xa0
The profile hits right away with darker fruit notes like raspberry and cherry before toasted vanilla, caramel, coffee, and lots of spiced leather.\xa0

The finish is long and trailing, never forgetting the red fruits, coffee, tobacco, and spiced leather notes.\xa0
