Frequently Asked Questions
What does Tumblin' Dice 13 Year Rye taste like?
Tumblin' Dice 13 Year delivers bold rye spice with caramel sweetness from the barrel proof strength and extended aging. The 95% rye mash bill creates intense pepper and baking spice notes balanced by vanilla and oak from 13 years in new charred barrels.
Is Tumblin' Dice good for cocktails?
Absolutely - the high proof and rye-forward profile make this exceptional for classic cocktails like Manhattans and Old Fashioneds. The 110 proof strength holds up beautifully when mixed, while the spice complexity adds depth that lighter ryes can't match.
How should I drink Tumblin' Dice Rye?
This rye shines neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors. The barrel proof strength benefits from a few drops of water to tame the heat and reveal more subtle notes. It's also outstanding in spirit-forward cocktails where the rye character can take center stage.
Is Tumblin' Dice worth the price for a 13-year rye?
For aged rye whiskey at barrel proof, Tumblin' Dice offers exceptional value compared to similar expressions from major distilleries. The combination of 13-year aging, high-rye mash bill, and natural proof delivers complexity typically found in much more expensive bottles.
What is similar to Tumblin' Dice Rye?
If you enjoy high-rye expressions like Rittenhouse BiB or Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye, Tumblin' Dice offers similar spice-forward character with more age and proof. It's comparable to other Indiana-sourced ryes but with longer aging for added complexity.
