Old Bones Rye Whiskey 10-Year Reserve is produced by Backbone Bourbon in the U.S., which sources its whiskey rather than distilling it. The whiskey is aged at least 10 years, with 20% finished in apera (Australian-style sherry) barrels. Its mash bill is 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It is bottled at 55% ABV in a 750 ml format with a suggested retail price of $106.99.
Old Bones Rye Whiskey 10-Year Reserve is a very lovely rye whiskey. It has a very nice sweetness to it, and I love the minty beginning and end. It is definitely a fairly strong whiskey, and one that burns a bit when it hits your throat. I
The finish lasts quite long, with the wood flavors growing more pronounced as the lemon and mint fade. Straightforward and solid for fans of fruity rye whiskeys.
Those who are just beginning to learn about, and taste bourbon may not initially enjoy this product. However, as their palate develops, they will grow to enjoy a pour of this bourbon after a hard day’s work.
