Review:
Bone Snapper Rye Whiskey is made by the Back Bone Bourbon company which was founded in 2014. The head quarters are in California, the whisky comes from Kentucky, and the water is sourced from Indiana. The company also produces a bourbon and a gin. I could not find much about the company and the “about page” on their site did not tell me much either so that actually needed up telling me a lot. Rich kids making whiskey.
I sampled Batch #4 which is 54% abv, aged 24 months in America Oak barrels, but has not age statement. From my research the mash is 95% rye, 5% malt and comes from Bardstown, KY. The water is limestone filtered water from Southern Indiana. I am going to guess that the whiskey is made in Kentucky and then shipped from there to other locations. It would not make a lot of sense to ship everything to California, put the product together and then re-ship it. The whiskey is very strong and rye spicy. Even cutting it with water is was very harsh. Basically, it’s a high proof rye for cocktails. I would not drink it neat or on the rocks.
I would have written more if I could have found out more about the company or product.
Priced around $40 and good for a high proof mixer in cocktails but that is about it.
