Roulette 4 Year Straight Rye Whiskey
Roulette 4 Year Straight Rye Whiskey is the step-up rye from Proof and Wood Ventures, the independent bottling company founded by Dave Schmier, who created Redemption Rye before starting Proof and Wood. Where Deadwood is Schmier's budget rye, Roulette is the one built for the cocktail bar: a four-year-old straight rye distilled at MGP in Lawrenceburg, Indiana from the classic 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill and bottled at a proper 100 proof.
The Whiskey Wash scored it 7 out of 10 and said it achieves exactly what it was intended for, describing a ruby-red color, a big nose of orange marmalade and Amarena cherry, cherry and dark fruit on a medium-bodied palate with a red-wine-like fruitiness, and a finish of rye spice and a hint of nuttiness, recommending it for Old Fashioneds and Manhattans while noting it works fine neat too. At 100 proof and four years it has the backbone to stand up to vermouth and bitters, and the price keeps it firmly in everyday territory. The casino-inspired label is a nod to Schmier's taste for a good bet.
