Whiskey Wednesday: While exploring the deep dark recesses of the vast deep dark caverness of "in the back" we stumbled over a fantastic find: BackBone Bourbon Anniversary Edition "Decade Down"! Backbone Decade Down is a straight bourbon built from a combination of Backbone's finest “honey” barrels between 5 and 7 years old. 25% of the bourbon used had been in sherry barrels for 12 months. The first batch of Backbone Uncut was released in December 2010 thus the reason for this special anniversary edition, released in 2020...a Decade Down from that first release!
Distilled in Indiana from a mashbill of 74% corn, 21% rye, and 5% malted barley, the nose has notes of toasted bread, almond butter, honey-roasted peanuts, and caramel topping. The palate is creamy and sweet, with rich oak, well-integrated spice, and peanuts—densely packed flavors that compose a full and rich body. The finish boasts admirable length, with savory nuts and semi-sweet chocolate. This will be a great addition to any bourbon aficionado's
collection!
