Backbone Bourbon Mon, Aug 29, 22 Backbone Bourbon Our very own Marc Gernhardt talks with Kevin Hogan from Backbone Bourbon about a wonderful selection of single barrel bourbons.Backbone distills its bourbon out of MGP in Lawerenceville, IN and age everything no shorter than two years. Most of the items discussed in the video were aged in single barrels between 3-5 years which makes for a smooth sipping product. Each of these bourbons are in the 100+ proof but you wouldn’t know it even after a few sips; these are deceptively smooth!Marc’s personal favorite is the Rye Whiskey. At first sip, you get the oak from the barrel and it finishes with a slow and lingering typical rye burn that radiates between sips.All of these items are available on our shelves. Selection may vary per location. Perfect gift for Father’s Day but you don’t need much excuse to grab one.
