Backbone Bone Snapper X-Ray Reserve 4 Year Old Straight Rye Batch #1 (75cl, 55%)

Backbone Bone Snapper X-Ray Reserve Batch #1 is a 4 year old straight rye from Backbone Bourbon Company, distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. It is bottled at 55% ABV, non-chill filtered, in a 750ml bottle. The mash bill is 95% rye and 5% malted barley. These barrels were held past the brand's usual window of around 30 months until they had spent four years or more in oak. Tasting notes mention pine and cinnamon on the nose. The palate offers honey, caramel and peppery spice, with spearmint and eucalyptus arriving mid-palate, and the finish is long and smooth.
