Description
Bone Snapper X-ray is our Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey. For X-ray, we use the same barrels and mash-bill as that used for Bone Snapper original but only after the barrels have aged 4 years or more. The remarkable characteristic of these barrels is how the flavor profile starts to evolve between 3 and 4 years old. The youthful spice (found in Bone Snapper original) starts to give way to a fuller, richer and more complex whiskey. After 4 years, with its new flavor profile fully set, we find this whiskey is ready for bottling.
Tasting Notes
On the nose are notes of pine tree and cinnamon. The first sip gets a decent amount of honey and caramel with hints of peppery spice coming through on a long but smooth finish. If you close your eyes and concen-trate, you might taste a little spearmint and eucalyptus in the mid-palate giving this whiskey complexity and freshness.
