Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof
What is Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof?
Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof is a bold and spicy expression that pushes the boundaries of traditional bourbon. This unique spirit contains an unusually high rye content of 36% in its mash bill, creating a complex flavor profile that balances the sweetness of corn with the peppery kick of rye. Interestingly, Tumblin' Dice's name is inspired by the Rolling Stones song of the same title, and each batch is "sonically aged" using low-frequency sound waves that supposedly enhance the interaction between the whiskey and the barrel, resulting in a smoother, more nuanced flavor profile.
Why do we love Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof?
Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof stands out for its bold, spicy character derived from an unusually high rye content in its mash bill - a whopping 36% rye grain. This unique composition, combined with its robust 100 proof strength, makes it an excellent choice for cocktail enthusiasts seeking a bourbon that can hold its own in mixed drinks, particularly in classics like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned where its peppery kick and full-bodied flavor truly shine.
How do you drink Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof?
Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof shines when sipped neat or with a single ice cube, allowing its robust flavors to unfold on the palate. This bold bourbon also stands up beautifully in spirit-forward cocktails, particularly those that traditionally call for rye whiskey, and pairs wonderfully with hearty, smoky barbecue or rich, spiced desserts on crisp autumn evenings.
Nose: Warm caramel and vanilla upfront, followed by spicy rye notes. Hints of oak and toasted nuts emerge, with a subtle undertone of dried fruit.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Brown sugar and cinnamon hit first, giving way to bold rye spice. Flavors of baked apples, nutmeg, and black pepper develop. A touch of leather and dark chocolate adds complexity.
Finish: Long and warming. The rye spice lingers, accompanied by oak tannins and a slight nuttiness. Fades with notes of clove, orange peel, and a hint of maple syrup.
Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Bourbon 100 Proof is crafted using a unique "double-rye" mashbill, featuring both malted and unmalted rye alongside corn and barley. The distillers employ a longer-than-usual fermentation process, allowing wild yeasts to contribute subtle complexity, before aging the spirit in heavily charred new oak barrels for at least four years.
