Detroit City Distillery’s Homegrown Rye Seriously Caught Me Off Guard
A rye I didn’t see coming. Detroit City Distillery’s Homegrown Rye surprised the hell out of me, and I break down why in this video review. If you like discovering new bottles, this one’s for you. 🥃
I’m kicking off 2026 right in the middle of 31 Days of Rye with a bottle that wasn’t on my radar at all… and honestly, that’s on me. This is the Homegrown Straight Rye Whiskey from Detroit City Distillery — a limited, cask-strength release made with 97% Michigan-grown rye and only 500 bottles sent out into the wild.
In this video, I break down why this rye completely won me over, why age really is just a number sometimes, and why if you stumble across a bottle, you might want to grab more than one. If you’re hunting for a rye that’s new to you, this one deserves a look.
If Detroit City Distillery has ever crossed your path, hit the comments and tell me what you thought. Always curious what’s been hitting (or missing) for you all.
Cheers,
