Backbone Old Bones 15 Year Reserve Rye Whiskey 750mL

Introducing Backbone Old Bones 15 Year Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey, a meticulously crafted spirit that epitomizes the elegance and complexity of fine rye whiskey. Distilled just outside of Montreal, this exquisite release benefits from a unique mash bill that incorporates a higher percentage of corn, giving it an uncommon sweetness that distinguishes it from traditional rye whiskies. Aged for a minimum of 15 years, with the first batch (#C1) extending to 18 years and 6 months, this whiskey is a testament to patience and precision in distillation and aging.

Refined Aging and Distinctive Flavor Profile:

• After achieving a remarkable age of 15 years, this whiskey was rebarreled in a new #3 char barrel for an additional 15 months. This process enhances the whiskey’s complexity, allowing the flavors to deepen and integrate beautifully.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Begins with the enticing aroma of crispy caramel corn, setting the stage for a rich and inviting sensory experience.
• Palate: The palate opens with a bold peppery spice typical of rye, which smoothly transitions into a gentle sweetness reminiscent of caramel and vanilla. This balance of spice and sweetness captures the essence of the unique mash bill.
• Finish: The finish is long and delightful, with lingering sweet notes that echo the complexity and maturity of the whiskey.
