The Representative Barrel Proof 4yr Bourbon Whiskey

The Representative is part of the DC Collection from Proof and Wood Ventures, the Bardstown, Kentucky independent bottler Dave Schmier founded in 2015, a series of Washington-themed whiskeys that also includes the inauguration-timed Presidential Dram and The Justice, a 14-year bourbon; The Representative is the youngest of the set at a minimum of four years. It is a straight bourbon distilled in Indiana from the 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley mash bill that MGP's Lawrenceburg distillery made its name on, aged in new charred oak, then bottled by Proof and Wood in Bardstown at barrel strength without dilution, so the proof shifts from batch to batch; The Daily Pour logged one at 57.8% ABV (115.6 proof), and Whisky Advocate reviewed a 2022 release at the same strength. The mash is a high-rye recipe for bourbon, so the four-year age keeps the corn sweetness and rye spice up front rather than burying them in oak, and the undiluted bottling gives it the weight of a much pricier barrel-proof pour. Use it in a strong Old Fashioned or Manhattan, or neat with a few drops of water.
