Memphis, TN – August 15, 2025 — Old Dominick Distillery is proud to announce the release of its highly anticipated 8-Year Reserve Bourbon, a premium expression that embodies the rich legacy and bold spirit of Memphis craftsmanship. This new bourbon will be available to the public starting Friday, September 5, 2025, at the distillery’s downtown Memphis tasting room (305 S. Front St., Memphis, TN 38103) and select retailers in Tennessee and across the Southeast.  

Aged for a full eight years in new American oak barrels, the Old Dominick 8-Year Reserve is a straight bourbon whiskey offering both complexity and approachability in its oak and vanilla notes. Bottled at 100 proof, the 8-Year Reserve is bold, balanced, and sweet. “We have been setting aside select barrels with the intent to ultimately bottle and serve a masterfully blended bourbon,” says David Valentine, Old Dominick’s Head Distiller. “If someone is looking for a sweet finish with honey and caramel tones, this it is the bottle for them.”  

This release represents a milestone for Old Dominick: offering a Memphis-made spirit that’s as old as the distillery itself, which opened its doors in 2017 The 8-Year Reserve is the culmination of intention, expertise, patience, and the distillery’s commitment to quality.  

Approachable & Sweet

The 8-Year Reserve Bourbon has enjoyed an overwhelmingly positive reception by bourbon influencers and members of the bourbon media community alike. Early reviews note the spirit’s intentional sweetness, desert-like palate, and defined finish. While Old Dominick first gained popularity with their distinct high-rye mash bill, Old Dominick’s 8-year Reserve Bourbon shares the same mash bill as their Tennessee Whiskey, even undergoing a quick charcoal mellowing process necessary for Tennessee Whiskey classification.  

The choice to label the 8-Year Reserve as a bourbon instead of a Tennessee Whiskey was based on the spirit’s flavor, rather than recipe. Its honey, caramel, vanilla, and chocolate notes construct the richness beloved by bourbon drinkers.  

Founded on a revived family recipe from the 1800s, Old Dominick has emerged as a leading force in the craft spirits scene, offering award-winning whiskeys, vodkas, and gins. The 8-Year Reserve Bourbon further solidifies the distillery’s position as a premier producer of finely aged craft spirits. ‍
