The Representative Barrel Proof 4-Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750 ml)

The Representative Barrel Proof 4-Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a bold, cask strength bourbon crafted in Kentucky and bottled without dilution to preserve its natural intensity and character. Aged for a minimum of four years in new charred American oak barrels, this whiskey delivers a robust, full-bodied experience that reflects the uncompromising tradition of American bourbon-making.

Produced in small batches, The Representative embraces a philosophy of authenticity and strength. Bottled at barrel proof, each release highlights the complexity that develops during maturation, with deep oak influence, rich caramel sweetness, and layers of spice. The unfiltered presentation allows the bourbon to maintain its full character, offering enthusiasts the chance to experience whiskey as it comes directly from the barrel.

Designed for collectors and connoisseurs, The Representative Barrel Proof 4-Year balances approachability with power. It pays tribute to American craftsmanship while providing a memorable, intense drinking experience that stands proudly alongside the great high-proof bourbons on the market.

The Representative is a meticulously crafted barrel-proof bourbon brought to life by Proof & Wood Ventures, a Connecticut-based company dedicated to sourcing, aging, and bottling exceptional American whiskies. The bourbon is distilled by MGP in Indiana and aged in Kentucky, blending two centers of bourbon expertise into one refined spirit.

This expression is rooted in small-batch tradition, made from a carefully selected mash bill (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley) and aged for a minimum of four years—referred to symbolically as “two Congressional terms.” It is entered into new charred oak barrels at high proof (typically around 120) and bottled at cask strength (around 57% ABV), preserving the full depth and subtlety developed during maturation.

The Representative has earned worldwide acclaim, winning the title "World's Best Bourbon" at the 2023 World Whiskies Awards. It showcases a balanced profile of vanilla, cherry, peach, citrus, tobacco, and spice, capturing both the heritage of traditional bourbon and the vision of modern craftsmanship.

With its precise aging, bold flavor, and consistent quality, The Representative stands as a statement of what small-batch barrel-proof bourbon can achieve—honoring tradition while demanding attention in every sip.
