WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- One Eight Distilling - only the second distillery to open in Washington, D.C. since prohibition - will officially open its doors on Saturday, January 10, 2015, offering public tours, sampling, and spirit sales from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the distillery's northeast D.C. facilities.
Customers will be invited for a behind-the-scenes glimpse at One Eight's 7,500 square production space, and given the opportunity to sample and shop for bottles of District Made Vodka (a rye-based vodka with a smooth, clean flavor) and Rock Creek White Whiskey (a rye-forward un-aged whiskey with hints of spice and pepper)。 One Eight's Ivy City Gin, named after the neighborhood where the distillery is located, will be released in subsequent weeks.
