Between three and four years old, the flavor profile of these barrels starts to evolve: the youthful spice of the original gives way to a fuller, richer and more complex whiskey. Once that new profile is fully set, the whiskey is ready for bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBackbone was crafted for those who understand that hard work, guts and determination make the difference. X-Ray is bottled in small batches, with the batch and proof marked on each label; this batch is 110 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes a bold gift for rye fans who like their whiskey full-strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 95% rye mash bill is about as rye-forward as whiskey gets, which brings bold baking spice and pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLawrenceburg, Indiana, on the Ohio River, has been a center of American whiskey distilling since the 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraight rye must be aged at least two years in new charred oak; at four years and up, the oak starts to round the spice into deeper caramel and dried fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight rye whiskey, reserve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95% rye, 5% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistilled:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lawrenceburg, Indiana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 proof (55% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat with a few drops of water, or stir it into a bold Manhattan or Sazerac.
