Distillery of Modern Art (DoMA) announced the inaugural release of its Bourbon Whiskey and Rye Whiskey, now available for purchase. 

“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 news 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.”  

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,” Head Distiller Matt Greif said. “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 100 proof (50% ABV). DoMA’s Rye Whiskey comes in at 90 proof (45% ABV). 

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.
