Description

Spirits Industry veteran Dave Schmier began Proof & Wood in 2015, with the goal of compiling a portfolio of some of the best spirits in the world through the time-honored tradition of independent blending and bottling. Although the cornerstone of the company’s selection is American whiskey, its spirits span a range of categories. A focus on aging, blending, and bottling rather than distilling—quite literally the proof and wood involved in the crafting of these spirits—has resulted in a curation of stellar distillates that are must-haves for cocktailing and sipping alike.

Taste

This selection from Proof and Wood’s Curated Collection is a blend of American Whiskies; the second release in under the ‘Seasons’ label. It features a spirit aged for an unusually long period of time (a TN Bourbon from 2003 that has endured over 72 seasons in barrel) balanced with younger whiskies.
Aged 8–18 years
Composed of Kentucky whiskey distilled from 99% corn in 2013, bourbon (mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley) distilled in Indiana in 2015, American Light Whiskey distilled in Indiana in 2007, and Tennesse bourbon distilled in 2003.
Finished in used American rye barrels for 8 weeks; blended and bottled in 2021

Holly’s Tasting Notes: Pine Cones, roasted almonds, and cashews. Lemon and vanilla creep in alongside for sweetness with the pine, such a fresh smell! The palate is softer at first with caramel and nougat. Candy sweetness as well, Cracker Jack caramel popcorn. The finish shows more rye spice again with a long, dry herbal and menthol quality.
