Backbone Bourbon Triple Down Single Barrel Light Whiskey (2024 Release), 68.3%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2025 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Light Whiskey
Light whiskey sourced from MGP and bottled from a single barrel. On the nose, toffee, Tootsie Roll, chocolate-covered raspberries, and wool. Cherries and raspberries on the palate, which needs water, coaxing out salt water taffy, marshmallow, vanilla almond ice cream, and coconut flakes. Lively, sweet flavors of ice cream shop and candy store. Nice length and sweetness on the finish, with waves of sweet vanilla and whipped cream, though a bit one-dimensional.
