Distillery Tasting Notes

Made by Backbone Bourbon Company

Fresh oak and vanilla fill the nose, with a rich, caramel and oak taste. This bourbon finishes very smoothly, especially given the proof, which feels decadent and warm. Rising rolls, cakes baking in the oven, whipped cream, icing, citrus, and chocolate fill the nose. Then the palate confirms this tapestry of goodness with vanilla cake batter, brown-sugar butter over yeast rolls, caramel icing, and cinnamon sprinkles.
