Tumblin' Dice 13 Year Straight Rye Whiskey is a barrel proof powerhouse at 110 proof, crafted from a high-rye mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Aged for 13 years in new charred oak barrels, this Indiana-distilled, Kentucky-bottled rye whiskey delivers the bold spice and complexity that only time and high rye content can achieve.

The spirit tells the story of American rye whiskey's renaissance, where traditional distilling meets modern craft. Proof and Wood Ventures selected these barrels from Indiana's legendary distillery, allowing them to mature in the humid Kentucky climate before bottling at natural barrel strength. Each sip carries the weight of thirteen seasons, the char of virgin oak, and the unmistakable bite that makes rye whiskey the backbone of classic cocktails.
