“On December 6th at 5pm bottles of this special single barrel will be available at Cinder (800 Upshur St, NW) and Johnny’s (3226 11th St, NW). This 6 year rye is made from a mash of 75% rye and 25% barley, was distilled in DC in the summer of 2017 and bottled in DC this fall. Matt Krimm (Cinder) and Branden Givand (Johnny’s) tasted through multiple barrels and picked this unique rye. “We loved the tropical fruit aromas, backed with a slight caramel-chocolate sweetness, and finished with a pleasing rye character” said Matt.
In order to comply with DC to-go liquor laws, a food purchase is required with the bottle. Both places will be offering a Mambo Brisket Slider with the bottle. Brisket by Cinder, Mambo by Johnny’s. This project is a celebration of DC and collaboration between local small businesses.”
