Detroit City Distillery Unveils Two Faced Blended Straight Bourbon
In an exciting expansion of its offerings, Detroit City Distillery has introduced its latest creation, the Two Faced Blended Straight Bourbon. This innovative blend unites the rich tradition of Kentucky wheated bourbon with the distinctive flavors of Michigan grains sourced from local farms. With this new addition to their permanent lineup, DCD is celebrating not only their local heritage but also the age-old tradition of bourbon-making that spans state lines.
The essence of bourbon blended across state lines.
A blend that encapsulates the spirit of both Michigan and Kentucky, the Two Faced bourbon is aged for a minimum of four years in oak barrels and boasts a robust 100 proof. According to the distillery, this bourbon is an intricate tapestry of flavors, weaving together notes of fresh apple paired with the sweetness of molasses. Enhanced by a smoky undertone reminiscent of cigars, this bourbon also features hints of orange marmalade, smooth vanilla, buttery toffee, and a final spicy kick of black pepper.
A Debut to Remember
The official launch for the Two Faced Blended Straight Bourbon is set to take place on August 23rd, at the distillery’s tasting room located at 2462 Riopelle St., in the heart of Detroit’s Eastern Market. This highly anticipated event will run from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and promises to be a celebration of local spirit and craftsmanship. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to purchase bottles from the inaugural batch, savor delectable whiskey flights, and indulge in captivating bourbon cocktails.
As if that wasn’t enough, a specially curated Detroit vs. Kentucky cocktail menu will be available for guests to explore the delicious synergies between these two iconic bourbon destinations.
“We like to say this bourbon was inspired by 100 years of dishonest activities in search of an honest drink,” said JP Jerome, the master distiller and co-owner of Detroit City Distillery. “Others may say it’s blasphemous to blend Michigan and Kentucky whiskey, but we wouldn’t be who we are if we didn’t make what we like to drink. Our Two Faced Blended Straight Bourbon represents the best of Michigan combined with fine Kentucky Bourbon. Finding new combinations that work is really what we’re all about.”
Local Craftsmanship and Global Appeal
Detroit City Distillery has made a name for itself with its award-winning small-batch artisanal offerings that encompass a range of spirits including bourbon, whiskey, rye, gin, and vodka. The distillery’s commitment to using locally sourced ingredients reflects not only a dedication to quality but also a celebration of the rich agricultural landscape of Michigan. It is this very philosophy that helps to craft spirits that are both unique and deeply connected to their origins.
The Two Faced Blended Straight Bourbon, offered in convenient 750-milliliter bottles priced at $55, can be purchased directly from the distillery’s tasting room or online for in-person pickup at detroitcitydistillery.com. Distillate enthusiasts should be on the lookout as the bourbon will soon grace liquor and grocery store shelves later this year.
