Comments:
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 you’re worried that this bottle is all gimmick and no substance, I’d say quell your fears and try a sip, because Proof and Wood: The Globe has a lot to offer.
