Proof and Wood: The Globe at 49.5% abv), 750ml, MSRP $79 — at $79.99 Pale orange hues and rich amber tones Aromas of cooked pastries, orange peel and honey Sweet , the question is whether it delivers on its promise. I sat down with a pour to find out.
Nose
Aromas of cooked pastries, orange peel and honey
Palate
Sweet vanilla and cooking spices warm the palate. Lingers with notes of bread and salt water taffy. Cinnamon spices and barrel notes linger nicely on the palate, even for the higher proof. For a product with such unlikely roots, Proof and Wood: The Globe proves that a lot can be done even with an unconventional start. The whiskey has an even profile and delivers a punch well above its weight. If youre worried that this bottle is all gimmick and no substance, Id say quell your fears and try a sip, because Proof and Wood: The Globe has a lot to offer.
