Tasting Notes: This rye whiskey has a strong, spicy base that's typical for the grain. But the apple brandy barrel finish adds a lovely twist. Stewed apples and ripe orchard fruits, like pear and golden plum, soften the rye's boldness. This mix brings a warm, autumn feel. A soft thread of caramel runs through the mid-palate. It adds a sweet touch that balances the spice. The finish is long and satisfying. The rye's peppery bite stays with you. You can also taste a hint of baked apple and toasted oak. It’s a spirited yet refined pour—seasonal, expressive, and deeply flavorful.
About: A Limited 10-Barrel Release That Marries Bold Rye with America’s Oldest Apple Brandy. Proof and Wood Ventures proudly announces the newest release in its acclaimed Tumblin’ Dice line: Tumblin’ Dice Single Barrel Rye, Finished in Laird’s Apple Brandy Barrels.
This unique expression begins with a bold rye whiskey—crafted from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley—that spent seven years aging in new charred American oak barrels, followed by an additional year in used Laird’s apple brandy barrels. The result is a rich, spicy rye elevated by subtle notes of stewed apple, orchard fruit, and a touch of caramel sweetness..
This special release represents a 10-barrel production, finished in barrels from Laird & Company—America’s oldest licensed distillery, established in 1780. “We were thrilled to see one of our 8.5-year-old apple brandy barrels find new life in this special release of Tumblin’ Dice,” said Gerard Dunn, VP of Operations at Laird & Company. “The rich character developed over nearly a decade of aging our apple brandy adds a unique layer of complexity and fruit-driven depth to the rye whiskey. It’s a beautiful example of how thoughtful barrel finishing can elevate an already excellent spirit. We’re proud to see the Laird name on the label and love how this collaboration turned out.
