Backbone Bourbon Uncut

Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 58.3% ABV (116.6 Proof) | 750mL | Barrel Strength | 75% Corn, 21% Rye & 4% Malted Barley | Distilled in Indiana

Process & Profile

Backbone Bourbon Uncut is the flagship barrel strength bourbon from Backbone Bourbon Company, built for drinkers who prefer bold flavor, higher proof, and a full-bodied straight bourbon profile. Distilled in Indiana and bottled without being proofed down to a standard 80 or 90 proof level, this bourbon keeps the intensity and structure that give the brand its name.

The mash bill is made from 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, creating a classic high-rye bourbon profile with sweetness, spice, oak, and warmth. The corn brings caramel and richness, the rye adds peppery lift and baking spice, and the malted barley helps round out the texture. Backbone’s current batch is listed at 116.6 proof, though barrel strength releases can vary slightly by batch.

The profile is bold but still smooth for the proof, with fresh oak, vanilla, caramel, baking spice, and warm oak depth. For customers looking for an uncut bourbon, barrel strength bourbon, or a full-flavored Indiana-distilled whiskey that can be sipped neat, poured over ice, or used in a serious Old Fashioned, Backbone Bourbon Uncut delivers a strong, no-nonsense whiskey experience.

How to Enjoy

Backbone Bourbon Uncut is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey glass so its fresh oak, vanilla, caramel, spice, and barrel strength warmth can open gradually. Let it rest for a few minutes before sipping, especially because the proof gives the whiskey more intensity and texture.

A large ice cube can soften the heat and bring forward more caramel, vanilla, and brown sugar. A few drops of water can also help open more oak, baking spice, and sweetness. For cocktails, Backbone Bourbon Uncut works especially well in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Boulevardier, or Whiskey Sour when you want a bourbon that will stay bold after dilution.
