Proof and Wood The Cabinet Barrel Proof Whiskey

Proof and Wood's Cabinet Barrel Proof Whiskey is a masterfully crafted blend that showcases the finest elements of American rye and bourbon. Proudly made in the USA, this whiskey reflects a deep respect for traditional distillation methods and a commitment to quality.

Each bottle is a testament to meticulous selection, incorporating straight whiskeys from notable vintages: 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. The rye component, composed of 95% rye aged in new charred oak barrels, infuses the blend with a vibrant spiciness and complexity. Complementing this are two bourbons: the first, aged in new charred oak barrels with a mashbill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley, offers a smooth richness; the second, featuring 99% corn and 1% barley, adds an extra layer of sweetness and depth.

The expertly crafted mashbill for this blend creates a symphony of flavors, where the boldness of the rye harmonizes seamlessly with the smooth, rich character of the bourbons. The result is a whiskey that captivates the palate with every sip, inviting whiskey enthusiasts to explore its intricate notes.

Cabinet Barrel Proof Whiskey stands as a remarkable example of what can be achieved through skillful blending and aging, making it a distinguished choice for both connoisseurs and those seeking an exceptional whiskey experience. Whether enjoyed neat or in a classic cocktail, this whiskey promises to deliver a truly memorable tasting journey.

TASTING NOTES

The nose is nutty with toasted almonds and a touch of hazelnut, but there’s so much more to enjoy here—butterscotch, oak, a bit of dried earth, and a hint of grape. Citrus takes over on the palate, with clementine and mandarin orange peel providing an initially sweet, smooth ride (which quickly takes a turn toward spicy). The finish adds yet another layer of flavor, thanks to the emergence of dark chocolate and espresso.
