Thirsty Thursday - Proof & Wood

The Representative 4-year-old Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon, 116.8 proof

Regular price: $55

Sale price: $49

Sweet and bready on the nose, featuring caramel, cinnamon-raisin bread, and dried strawberries. With water, and this takes it well, sweet lemon, honey, and cherry cough syrup emerge. The palate is chewy and rich, with brown sugar, PayDay bar, strawberry milkshake, and peppery spice. A flavorful finish delivers chocolate brownies and chocolate-covered cherries. Big in both proof and flavor, with lots to offer

Mash bill: 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley

Roulette Rye 4-year-old Straight Rye, 100 proof (Liter bottle)

Regular price: $30

Sale price: $26

Roulette Rye is a testament to Proof and Wood founder Dave Schmier’s ability to blend quintessential straight rye whiskey. A rich nose of orange marmalade, fresh thyme, and a hint of clove leads to a full and waxy mid-palate that transitions with pleasant tannin to a finish of black pepper, rosemary, and browned butter

 Mash Bill: 95% rye and 5% malted barley

The Cabinet Blend of Straight Rye and Bourbon, 112.52 proof

Regular price: $110

Sale price: $95

The newest release from Proof and Wood’s DC Collection, The Cabinet is an award-winning blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskeys distilled between 2014 and 2017 and bottled in 2023. The nose is nutty with toasted almonds and a touch of hazelnut…butterscotch, oak, a bit of dry earth, and a hint of grape. Citrus takes over on the palate, with clementine and mandarin orange peel providing an initially sweet, smooth ride. The finish adds yet another layer of flavor, thanks to the emergence of dark chocolate and espresso.

All rye whiskeys distilled from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley

Bourbon mash bills include a high-rye mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, and a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley
