Both DoMa’s Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys are made with non-GMO grains. They are made with non-GMO white corn and malted barley from Riverbend Malt in Asheville, North Carolina. The rye which is used as a secondary grain in the bourbon, and the main ingredient in the rye is the Wren’s Abruzzi Rye.

DoMa’s Bourbon Whiskey is matured in new, white American oak barrels. It was bottled at a potent 90-proof and carries candied fruits, herbal mint, vanilla, and caramel aromas. The palate contains notes of orchard fruits, honey, and dried flowers. The finish is dry and warm and leaves you craving more.

DoMa’s Rye Whiskey is a warming 100-proof. According to the distillery, it begins with a nose of leather, chocolate, tobacco, and herbal, spicy rye. Sipping it reveals flavors like milk and dark chocolate, coffee, cashews, and peppery, spicy rye. The finish is creamy, lingering, and lightly spicy.

“This whiskey release is the culmination of five years of passion, dedication, and craftsmanship – a truly meticulous journey,” Seth Watson, DoMA Founder and CEO, said in a press release. “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.”

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

What really is the difference between these two liquors?

I've been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I've learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka --this is especially true when both are unaged. Appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. Although, the same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff is when the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.
