Description

Almost Old Bones 9 Year Reserve is a special release from Backbone Bourbon Company, aged for 9 years and bottled at 110 proof (55% ABV). It was created as a compromise between their younger Backbone Uncut (5-6 years) and older Old Bones (10+ years) labels. The whiskey is sourced from Bardstown, Kentucky, with a mash bill of 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley.
