BACKBONE BOURBON UNCUT KENTUCKY BARREL PROOF 750ML

If you aren’t wedded to the idea of bourbon being distilled in Kentucky, then I have found great straight bourbon for you. Backbone Bourbon distills small batches from a 70% corn, 25% rye, 5% malted barley mash in Lawrenceburg, Indiana (not to be confused with the home of Wild Turkey and Four Roses south of the Ohio, in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky), then ages them for around 4 years to be bottled at full barrel strength in Bardstown, Kentucky. There is no blending of the barrels, and as they put it they have left the “backbone” of the bourbon in. Even at such a young age, they are confident enough to release Backbone Bourbon Uncut as 114 to 117 proof (57 to 58% abv) barrel strength bourbon.
