The Un-Told Story of Kentucky Whiskey Chapter 2
Throughout history and at the inception of America, the Bourbon Whiskey industry has mirrored society. There are both hidden and unhidden tales of triumph and travesty. The Bourbon industry continues to survive the test of times. People are ready to have conversations about race and social issues. And because of that, we hear the rumble of once whispered family stories of African American Bourbon traditions that speak of secret recipes and hidden distilleries in the hollers of Kentucky and the urban communities that are at the heart of Bourbon country.
The Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 caused a transition in the whiskey industry. It was a period of improvement in the American economy and technology, It ushered in a period of mass production of bourbon. Oral traditions and deeds of sale buried in the archives indicate that a strong labor force was needed. It is estimated by 1850, 28% of the population in Kentucky were enslaved African Americans. Therefore, without a doubt, African Americans completed the labor-intensive tasks of creating Bourbon and solidifying its place in history as an American tradition. Their soon to be told stories and voices are in every recipe, building structure, and in every sip. We have a commitment to honor their Stories and legacies. Let’s enjoy and educate.

The Whiskey Library Anthology Series Volume II Chapter I Straight Malted Rye
On May 20, 2017, the Whiskey Library DC and a small group of friends, in partnership with District Made Spirits, barreled a whiskey distilled from 100% malted rye. An experiment at the time, this bottle is the brainchild of Whiskey Library founders Brian Thompson and Tim Moll.
Brian, an avid American whiskey fan, and Tim, a lover of single malt Scotch, founded The Whiskey Library in 2014. Three years later, they had the opportunity to create their own whiskey. In addition to a standard rye (Anthology Volume I) and bourbon (Volume II), they knew they wanted to create a whiskey that represented their shared passions: a typical American grain (rye), distilled in a manner similar to Scotch. Thus, this Straight Malt Rye Whiskey from Washington, DC. Was born.

The Whiskey Library Anthology Series Volume III Chapter I Straight Bourbon
On May 20, 2017, the Whiskey Library DC, in partnership with District Made Spirits, barreled a whiskey distilled from 72% Hickory King Corn, 18% Rye, and 10% Malted Barley.
We originally planned for this bourbon to be bottled-in-bond, but after five years in the barrel, we felt that it was too good to water down, and so we left it at barrel-proof. Sometimes you just have to listen to the whiskey and go with your gut, even if it wasn’t the original plan.
We couldn’t be more excited to share this single-barrel, barrel-proof bourbon – made right here in Washington, DC -with you.
