Frequently Asked Questions

What does Tumblin' Dice 13 Year Rye taste like?

Tumblin' Dice delivers an intense rye spice experience with layers of black pepper, cinnamon, and oak tannins balanced by caramel sweetness and vanilla from the charred barrels. The 95% rye mash bill creates a bold, spicy profile that's both complex and warming.

Should I add water to this barrel proof rye?

Yes, a few drops of water can help open up the flavors and tame the 110 proof heat, revealing more of the subtle oak and spice nuances. Start with just a splash and adjust to your preference.

Is this good for cocktails or better neat?

This barrel proof rye excels both ways. Neat, it showcases the full intensity of thirteen years of aging, while in cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans, the high proof and bold rye character cuts through mixers beautifully.

How does this compare to other Indiana rye whiskeys?

At 13 years and 95% rye, this offers more age and spice intensity than many Indiana expressions. The extended aging develops deeper oak integration while maintaining the signature peppery bite that high-rye mash bills are known for.

Is Tumblin' Dice worth the price for a 13-year rye?

For aged rye whiskey at barrel proof, this represents solid value. Thirteen years of aging in new charred oak at this proof point delivers complexity typically found in more expensive expressions, especially given the scarcity of well-aged rye whiskey.
