![]() ![]() If you are curious try it out for yourself and make your own judgement call. I cannot say I would recommend it but I also cannot say I wouldn’t. This is a whiskey that I would not recommend to the beginner who is starting to get into whiskey drinking or one who is a stickler for flavor profiles and subtleties in whiskey. I guess this could be attributed to the higher proof. Order now online or through the app and have beer, wine & liquor delivered. It never got that smell of alcohol that was left out to long. Get Backbone Uncut Straight Bourbon delivered near you in 30 minutes. Another thing to note while the bottle sat and was slowly coming to an end the whiskey never got old or stale. Maybe at a lower proof it would be a great bourbon but not at 120 proof. I do not feel that the struggle in the beginning is worth it in the end. I still will only recommend this if you like high proof whiskeys. While the bourbon became a great bottle to drink. If I had any thing to eat before or during, it really messed with the flavor of the whiskey. I also found out that when I drank this bourbon that if I had a dry mouth it ended up not being as flavorful. The more I drank it down the more pronounced the flavors and smell became. I found myself gravitating towards that over my other bottles. I finished the bottle off over then next few months. Letting the bottle sit over a month with three quarters left in it had completely changed the whiskey. What ever happened in the bottle made a change for the better. I think that it had oxidized rather than aired out, but I am not to sure. I actually enjoyed the bourbon now that it was aired out. The after taste lingered with sweetness and not numbness. The flavor had a subtle bit of alcohol burn that did not overpower the flavor of vanilla and sugar. It went from being only in my mind a mixer whiskey to savory and enjoyable. I could pick up more vanilla, oak, and caramel. It transformed from offensive to pleasant. I held my glass up to my nose, took a whiff, and wasn’t punched in the face with alcohol. When I poured my next drink, I realized it was a different experience. After letting the bottle sit with the empty space in it and get some air or oxidation, I poured another drink. This bottle sat for a month or two before coming back to it. I drank about one quarter of the bottle down and moved on to a different bottle. It was not enjoyable.Ĭolor – A rich amber color in the bottle and having a pour in the glass revealed a yellow with a tint of orange. After a few sips it made my mouth feel numb. Then the pleasantries faded to a dry mouth with a lingering burn. After the first slap in the mouth of alcohol I could pick up on flavors of oak, vanilla, and a sugary sweetness, it was subtle to say the least. Taste – The taste was extremely potent of alcohol and it had a strong burn to it. I held the glass about an inch or two away and took a few sniffs and really the only thing I could pick up on was alcohol and oak. I had to take a small break and come back to it. Smell – Initially when I popped open the cork and poured myself a drink, I forgot about it being a high proof alcohol. I usually do not buy barrel proof whiskeys for myself due to the fact they end up being super strong on the alcohol and I lose the flavor and smell quickly. I was curious about this whiskey when I got it and I cracked into it. I think the MSRP is around $55-60 When I checked online. Bottled by Backbone Bourbon (Bardstown Kentucky.) Our personal favorite!
