The 2024 Presidential Dram: Two Distinct Expressions

  • One Term Presidential Dram Single Barrel Rye
    Two distinct rye whiskeys have been selected for this limited-edition release:

    • A robust 95% Indiana rye, aged a minimum of 4 years, offering a bold, flavorful experience for rye whiskey enthusiasts.
    • A softer yet equally refined Minnesota rye, with an 85% rye and 15% barley mashbill, delivering a smoother, balanced character.
  • Two Term Presidential Dram Straight Bourbon
    This bourbon is aged for at least 8 years and crafted with 99% corn from Indiana. Its complexity and smooth finish honor the virtues of time, embodying endurance and excellence in every sip.

Craftsmanship and Authenticity in Every Bottle

Both whiskies in The DC Collection are meticulously chosen from single barrels, ensuring a unique flavor profile in each bottle. Non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel proof, these spirits provide an unfiltered, full-bodied experience, staying true to Proof and Wood’s dedication to authenticity.

In addition to the 2024 Presidential Dram, The DC Collection features:

  • The Representative Bourbon
  • The Senator Rye
  • The Cabinet Blended Whiskey

All expressions are available in single barrels and distributed across the United States.
