Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye is a straight bourbon made with a heavy rye mash bill and bottled as a single barrel at barrel proof, here 116.3 proof (58.15% ABV). It is distilled in Indiana and bottled by Proof and Wood Ventures in Stanford, Kentucky, under the Deadwood name.
The mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% barley gives a bourbon with plenty of rye spice, balanced by caramel and vanilla from the barrel.
Tumblin' Dice single barrels vary in age and proof from cask to cask, which is what makes each pick fun to collect and compare.
The dice on the label make it a lively gift for bourbon fans who like to roll the dice on something new.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
