Old Dominick Straight Tennessee Whiskey 85 Proof 750ml

About the Product: Old Dominick's Straight Tennessee Whiskey is where Kentucky boldness meets Southern smoothness. Built on a signature mashbill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, this 85 proof expression takes one extra step that sets it apart from bourbon: the Lincoln County Process, in which the new spirit is slowly filtered through sugar maple charcoal before barreling. That filtration strips away the harshness and rounds out the edges, leaving a whiskey that's approachable without being simple — familiar enough for a weeknight pour, interesting enough to keep you coming back. Aged 4 years and charred to a Level 4, it's a genuine reintroduction to what Tennessee whiskey can be.

About Old Dominick Distillery: The Old Dominick story is one of Memphis, family, and a very long wait. In 1866, a 16-year-old Italian immigrant named Domenico Canale arrived in Tennessee, built a trading company from scratch, and eventually created a whiskey that bore his name. He passed away just three days before Prohibition — and with him, so did the distillery. Over a century later, fifth-generation descendants Chris and Alex Canale revived the brand, opening Old Dominick Distillery in downtown Memphis in 2017 just steps from where Domenico first set up shop. Under the direction of Master Distiller Alex Castle, Old Dominick became Memphis's first whiskey-making distillery since before Prohibition — a grain-to-glass operation housed in a restored 100-year-old building, producing spirits that carry 160 years of family history in every bottle.

What is the Lincoln County Process?: The Lincoln County Process is the defining step that separates Tennessee Whiskey from bourbon. Before the spirit ever touches a barrel, it is slowly dripped through — or steeped in — a thick layer of sugar maple charcoal, sometimes ten feet deep. This filtration draws out the sharper compounds that can make young whiskey feel rough, leaving behind a mellower, silkier spirit. The result isn't a different flavor so much as a smoother canvas — the same character, just with the edges taken off.
