Background

Tumblin’ Dice is a small batch blend of about 20 barrels sourced from MGP. It is blended and bottled by Proof and Wood Ventures, Inc., a Connecticut based spirits company. Tumblin’ Dice Bourbon is aged a minimum of 4 years. Fun Fact – the number on the dice on the label is the age statement.

Details

Mash bill: 60% corn, 36 % Rye, and 4% Barley

Tasting Notes – Tumblin’ Dice Bourbon Review

Let’s taste it:

🛏 Rested for 15 minutes in a Glencairn glass

👉🏻Nose: Oak, caramel, vanilla,
👉🏻Taste: Sweet caramel, grain (more corn), a hint of banana, oak
👉🏻Finish: Long, pepper, caramel, vanilla

Summary

My bourbon buying philosophy is simple. When you find a winner at a reasonable price, keep going for it. A friend found three bottles of The Representative for me. I lucked into a couple of bottles of the Elijah Craig #C918 at just above retail (!). Now, can I luck into a couple of bottles of the Tumblin’ Dice? This pour appeals to bourbon lovers of all types because it’s got little heat and a long finish with sweet caramel that kisses your palate (stop for a second and take in that visual.) For people like me, who prefer the power of high-proof, the flavor complexity makes this interesting. It took me a while to figure out what flavor was subtly swirling around my glass and taste buds, and I finally got the banana.

Conclusion – Tumblin’ Dice Bourbon Review

For the price point, this is a solid pour. It’s the type of bourbon that you should have for casual drinkers and those who haven’t had a chance to explore Proof and Wood products. It doesn’t need ice. It just needs to pour in the glass.
