Atlanta, GA (November 20, 2024) – Distillery of Modern Art (DoMA) is thrilled to announce the inaugural release of its Bourbon Whiskey and Rye Whiskey, now available for purchase. The two newest additions to the current lineup of five premium craft spirits, including 2024’s Gin of the Year from Tales of Cocktail, DoMA’s Bourbon Whiskey and Rye Whiskey are crafted with the finest ingredients, setting a new standard for quality, smoothness, and flavor. 

 

“This whiskey release is the culmination of five years of passion, dedication, and craftsmanship – a truly meticulous journey,” says Seth Watson, DoMA Founder and CEO. “I wanted to create a whiskey that showcases what a great American bourbon looks like, to me. Our team took the time and care to create a Bourbon Whiskey and Rye Whiskey that embodies the art of the spirit and brings people together through a new experience.”  

 

DoMA’s Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys share the same grain sources, each chosen for their unique contribution to the overall flavor profile. Non-GMO White Corn brings a slightly sweeter taste and creates unique flavor profiles as the whiskey matures. DoMA uses malted barley, sourced from Riverbend Malt in Asheville, NC chosen specifically for the grassy, bready, and honey-caramel character it adds to the blend. And finally, the most important ingredient in DoMA’s Rye Whiskey variety – is the Wren’s Abruzzi Rye.  

 

“For our rye, we’ve selected Wren’s Abruzzi Rye, an Italian varietal that thrives in the Southeast. Unlike most rye, grown in the northeast and Canada, this locally grown grain offers a distinctive advantage: it has lower levels of furfural,” says Head Distiller, Matt Greif. “This gives the whiskey its characteristic spice, black pepper and clove notes. By carefully selecting both the rye grain and yeast, we control the spice profile.”  

 

Aged in new, white American oak barrels, DoMA’s Bourbon Whiskey has a light amber appearance and comes in at 90 proof (45% ABV). The Bourbon Whiskey presents aromas of candied, dark fruit and a hint of spearmint on the nose with pleasing vanilla and caramel notes. On the palate, DoMA’s Bourbon Whiskey presents dried and stewed orchid fruits, with pops of honey and dried flowers. With a medium dry finish, the Bourbon Whiskey creates a craveable sip.  

 

A light caramel in appearance, DoMA’s Rye Whiskey comes in at 100 proof (50% ABV), with bold aromas of leather, chocolate, and tobacco with hints of subtle herbal notes from the Abruzzi Rye. The palate is generous, but firm, with notes of milk and dark chocolate, coffee, cashews, and the quintessential rye spiciness. Creamy and luxurious in texture, DoMA’s Rye Whiskey presents a long and lingering finish with just a bit of heat.  

 

Uniquely Southern spirits, these new bottles from DoMA cement the team’s belief that the South, and particularly Georgia, has the ability through terroir, access to ingredients, and climate, to produce some of America’s best spirits. 

 

DoMA’s Bourbon Whiskey is available in 700ml bottles, priced at $49.99. DoMA’s Rye Whiskey is available in 700ml bottles, priced at $49.99.  Both Bourbon and Rye are available for purchase online at distilleryofmodernart.com and onsite at the distillery, located at 2197 Irvindale Drive, Chamblee, GA 30341.
