This was nice and tasted like a very old Tennessee whiskey. The end has a nuttiness that leads back to those old grain silos from the nose with vanilla wafer tobacco spiciness on the finish.
BACKBONE BOURBON DECADE DOWN FULL
The palate is full of winter spice and mulled wine with a focus on star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, and a whisper of saffron with a burnt orange vibe. Old oak-filled cellars and creamy vanilla mix with sourdough bread crusts and aged corn kernels, damp rye, and a sense of old vanilla wafers. Long story short: it’s a good time to be a bourbon lover, folks. That said, the space between each of these whiskeys is very small with the top half all being stellar. So even the “last place” bourbon whiskey is a goddamn fine pour of whiskey. Luckily, these were all stone-cold-killer bottles of bourbon. When it comes to the ranking of these bottles, I’m going on taste alone.
BACKBONE BOURBON DECADE DOWN SERIES
That makes the lineup today the following bottles: Fortuna Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, for instance, was released back in September but only went wide this week on liquor store shelves outside of Kentucky. These bottles have either just dropped (some mere days ago) or are new bottles that “officially” dropped a month or two ago but are only hitting shelves right now. The world of bourbon rests for no one these days, and that means there are tons of new bourbon releases hitting shelves as we count down the last moments of 2022.Īll of this is to say that it’s time for one last “new bourbon blind taste test” before the calendar flips.įor this blind taste test, I’ve grabbed 12 bottles of new bourbon whiskey. Not that long ago, that would have meant the bourbon release schedule was winding down too.
