Designed as a “party in a bottle,” Big Bash brings together straight rye and straight bourbon components into a full-flavored American whiskey with both familiar bourbon sweetness and more unusual fruit-driven complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"953\"\u003eThe blend uses three mash bills: 95% rye and 5% malted barley; 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley; and 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. More than 90% of the blend is made from whiskeys that spent between six months and two years in finishing barrels, giving the final whiskey added depth, sweetness, and layered character beyond a standard straight bourbon or rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1367\"\u003eBottled at 110 proof, Backbone Big Bash American Whiskey delivers a rich texture and a complex profile with banana, brown sugar, oak, ripe banana, dried orange, caramel, toasted sweetness, and a long pleasing finish. For customers looking for a high-proof American whiskey with a creative finished profile, Big Bash offers a distinctive pour with strong cocktail potential and enough complexity for neat sipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1krg0gn\" data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1386\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1676\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1i7i0l7\" data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1424\"\u003eBanana and brown sugar on the nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1cq22k5\" data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003eOak accent with bourbon-forward sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"kedctr\" data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eRipe banana and dried orange through the palate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hb2wbm\" data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1574\"\u003eTraditional caramel sweetness with exotic fruit depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"kcyh0q\" data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1613\"\u003eRich texture and balanced complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1fivd20\" data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1676\"\u003eLong finish with sweetness, oak, fruit, and lingering warmth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"16w076p\" data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1703\"\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"2268\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1qan0j1\" data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1758\"\u003eBlend of straight rye and straight bourbon whiskeys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1x6gguh\" data-start=\"1759\" data-end=\"1811\"\u003eBottled at 110 proof for bold flavor and structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1sih97m\" data-start=\"1812\" data-end=\"1887\"\u003eMore than 90% of the blend spent 6 months to 2 years in finishing barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"mal53c\" data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"1961\"\u003eUses three mash bills, including rye-heavy and bourbon-style components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1m9xete\" data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"1998\"\u003eDistilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"dj5pq4\" data-start=\"1999\" data-end=\"2051\"\u003eBatch 1 was produced in a limited run of 340 cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1cmll59\" data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2159\"\u003eFlavor profile combines bourbon sweetness, rye structure, ripe banana, dried orange, brown sugar, and oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"wm8ttj\" data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2268\"\u003eStrong choice for fans of finished American whiskey, high-proof blends, and creative independent bottlings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"fjs8yi\" data-start=\"2270\" data-end=\"2286\"\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2288\" data-end=\"2596\"\u003eBackbone Big Bash American Whiskey is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey glass so its banana, brown sugar, oak, dried orange, caramel, and finishing-barrel complexity can open gradually.

For cocktails, Big Bash works well in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour, Boulevardier, or whiskey highball when you want a bold American whiskey with extra fruit and sweetness. Its finished whiskey profile also makes it a strong choice for holiday cocktails, dessert-style drinks, and richer stirred serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"ul2pwc\" data-start=\"3015\" data-end=\"3045\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col data-start=\"3047\" data-end=\"4244\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"j5qt5b\" data-start=\"3047\" data-end=\"3294\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3050\" data-end=\"3110\"\u003eWhat does Backbone Big Bash American Whiskey taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3110\" data-end=\"3113\"\u003eBackbone Big Bash American Whiskey tastes rich and bold, with banana, brown sugar, oak, ripe banana, dried orange, caramel sweetness, fruit complexity, and a long warming finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1h0mjw3\" data-start=\"3296\" data-end=\"3439\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3299\" data-end=\"3352\"\u003eWhat proof is Backbone Big Bash American Whiskey?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3352\" data-end=\"3355\"\u003eBackbone Big Bash American Whiskey is bottled at 55% ABV, which equals 110 proof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1utw7rx\" data-start=\"3441\" data-end=\"3747\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3444\" data-end=\"3514\"\u003eWhat whiskeys are blended into Backbone Big Bash American Whiskey?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3514\" data-end=\"3517\"\u003eBackbone Big Bash American Whiskey is a blend of straight rye and straight bourbon whiskeys using mash bills of 95% rye and 5% malted barley; 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley; and 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1okzhhi\" data-start=\"3749\" data-end=\"4010\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3752\" data-end=\"3807\"\u003eHow is Backbone Big Bash American Whiskey finished?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3807\" data-end=\"3810\"\u003eBackbone Big Bash American Whiskey includes a high percentage of whiskey that spent between six months and two years in finishing barrels, adding fruitiness, exotic sweetness, and extra complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lvkutv\" data-start=\"4012\" data-end=\"4244\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"4015\" data-end=\"4070\"\u003eWhere can I buy Backbone Big Bash American Whiskey?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"4070\" data-end=\"4073\"\u003eYou can buy Backbone Big Bash American Whiskey directly from The Barrel Tap, a trusted online source for American whiskey, finished whiskey blends, and premium spirits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Backbone Bourbon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48441303531745,"sku":"661537005014","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/3023\/6825\/files\/BackboneBigBashAmericanWhiskey750mL.webp?v=1780521379","url":"https:\/\/www.thebarreltap.com\/products\/backbone-big-bash-american-whiskey","provider":"The Barrel Tap","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
