The brand traces its roots to Italian immigrant Domenico Canale and 1860s Memphis, where Old Dominick became a fixture of the city's whiskey culture before Prohibition brought that chapter to an end. More than a century later, the Canale family resurrected the name and, in 2016, began legally distilling whiskey in Memphis for the first time since Prohibition. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Old Dominick operates a grain-to-glass distillery on South Front Street in downtown Memphis, producing Tennessee whiskey, bourbon and wheat whiskey with a distinctly modern point of view. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center of its Tennessee whiskey program is a \u003cstrong\u003e75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley mash bill\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by the Lincoln County Process—filtering the new make through sugar maple charcoal before barreling. But Old Dominick doesn't stop at an easy-drinking flagship. The same distilling philosophy stretches into Bottled-in-Bond whiskey, higher-proof expressions and single barrels that let you see what happens when proof, age and barrel individuality enter the equation. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there's the wheat whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around \u003cstrong\u003e83% wheat\u003c\/strong\u003e, Old Dominick's single-barrel wheat program offers a dramatically different side of the distillery—older, cask-strength whiskey where wheat replaces corn as the dominant grain. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's exactly why we're doing this tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis kit is both an introduction and an evaluation.\u003c\/strong\u003e We'll taste six expressions spanning the Old Dominick portfolio and, during the live tasting, discuss whether there is enough member interest to pursue a future \u003cstrong\u003ePrime Barrel × Old Dominick single barrel selection\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Dominick Straight Tennessee Whiskey | 85 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe starting point for understanding Old Dominick's house style. Made from 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley, then mellowed through sugar maple charcoal using the Lincoln County Process. Aged four years in Char #4 barrels, it balances the sweetness of corn with a surprisingly assertive rye backbone. Look for vanilla, caramel, crème brûlée, tobacco, anise and oak. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Dominick Bonded Tennessee Whiskey | 100 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe same signature Tennessee whiskey mash bill viewed through the stricter lens of Bottled-in-Bond. Old Dominick's first release was distilled in Fall 2017 and aged at its South Front Street distillery. Bottled-in-Bond requires whiskey from one distiller, one distillery and one distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse and bottled at exactly 100 proof. Expect vanilla, caramel, tobacco and crème brûlée with additional structure and intensity. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Dominick Cask Strength Bourbon | 114 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow we turn up the volume. Old Dominick's high-rye bourbon presented at cask strength delivers honey and cinnamon on the nose before moving toward rye spice, leather, dark chocolate, caramel and a lingering cinnamon finish. It's an opportunity to see the distillery's character without the restraint of a lower bottling proof. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Dominick Tennessee Whiskey Single Barrel | Barrel Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere the standard Tennessee Whiskey establishes the house profile, the single-barrel format lets individual cask character take over. This is particularly relevant to our tasting: we're not simply asking whether Old Dominick makes good whiskey—we're trying to understand what its whiskey can become when we're eventually standing in front of a flight of barrels choosing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Dominick Single Barrel Straight Wheat Whiskey | Cask Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most intriguing whiskeys in the lineup. This is \u003cstrong\u003ewheat whiskey\u003c\/strong\u003e, not wheated bourbon: 83% wheat, 12% corn and 5% malted barley. Existing releases have reached seven-plus years at cask strength, offering an unusually mature look at a category that receives far less attention than bourbon or rye. It's also the first Memphis-made wheat whiskey released by Old Dominick since the city's post-Prohibition distilling revival. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Dominick 8 Year Reserve Bourbon | 100 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe elder statesman of the flight. Old Dominick selects and reserves barrels each year specifically for this eight-year expression. The profile moves toward cream soda and peach on the nose, followed by raisin and icing before caramel, butterscotch, honey and vanilla lead into an oak-driven finish. At eight years and 100 proof, it gives us an important look at what additional maturation can do to Old Dominick's distillate. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Old Dominick Straight Tennessee Whiskey — 85 Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Old Dominick Bonded Tennessee Whiskey — 100 Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Old Dominick Cask Strength Bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Old Dominick Tennessee Whiskey Single Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Old Dominick Single Barrel Straight Wheat Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Old Dominick 8 Year Reserve Bourbon — 100 Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🥃 \u003cstrong\u003eLive Old Dominick × The Prime Barrel Virtual Tasting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAugust 26, 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 PM ET \/ 5 PM PT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRSVP details provided after purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoin us live, taste through the portfolio, share your notes inside \u003ca href=\"vip.primebarrel.com\/Discord\" title=\"Prime Barrel Discord server\"\u003eThe Prime Barrel Discord\u003c\/a\u003e, and help us decide whether an \u003cstrong\u003eOld Dominick barrel selection belongs in our future.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Old Dominick Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45303901913270,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/2162\/1686\/files\/VirtualTastingTemplate_1_a30856b9-8757-4eef-b71f-647cc0fc26f5.png?v=1785438703","url":"https:\/\/primebarrel.com\/products\/old-dominick-distillery-sample-set","provider":"Prime Barrel - Single-Barrel Picks Marketplace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
