BACKBONE BOURBON THE FORGE

Sweet nose that reminds one of walking in sugar cane field. There is also some slight oak on the nose. The entry palate is cool and narrow but soon widens as it hits the mid-palate. Here the whiskey drops and lifts but also expands to provide a very full bodied, big flavor profile. More nuanced flavors emerge on the back palate. Here there are notes of honey and caramel but also some dark fruit undertones and just a hint of nutmeg. This whiskey provides great balance between power and sweetness. Both keep the other in check. The finish is very long and warm.
