An absolutely cracking American whiskey from the Boondocks range, helmed by Dave Scheurich, former master distiller of Woodford Reserve. This expression is made with a combo heavy in corn, along with helpings of rye and malt, and matured for 11 years before bottling.
Light in color but rich, nuanced, and complex, fruitiness and exotic spices enhance some of the subtler aromatic characteristics like the toasted marshmallow oak barrel notes. The mouthfeel is creamy and buttery with a long, pleasant finish. The whiskey is spicy and warm but does not burn and offers a subtle cotton candy sweetness.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Overall, the whiskey is spicy and warm but does not burn and is sweet like cotton candy. Boondocks American Whiskey 95 Proof has already garnered several accolades including a Gold Medal /90 Points from the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition 2016 and was named a Finalist in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016, receiving 92 Points.
Distilleries need plenty of room to operate and good, abundant water sources. Close proximity to grain supplies and to farmers who were willing to feed the spent mash to their livestock were also a must. Therefore, historically, it was prudent and practical to build distilleries in rural areas…or “the boondocks”. Boondocks sources its whiskeys from distilleries that are, for the most part, outside the city limits or in the boondocks.
Boondocks Whiskey is brought to you by Whisky Advocate Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Dave Scheurich. And while you may have never heard his name, Dave has helped create some of America’s most recognized whiskeys over the last 40 years.
But all this talk would make Dave blush.
The real audience Dave cares about has enjoyed the drinks he created and has never given a second thought to the artist behind the scenes. And that’s just fine with Dave.
His love, passion and expertise are legendary – and can be found in every bottle of Boondocks, what may well be his crowning achievement.

"Came in search of Michter's American. I found this when they were gone. I couldn't be more pleased that I did. One of the flavorsomest bottles I've ever had at this price range. good bargain. a genuine culinary adventure from sip to swallow. Smooth and simple to drink both neat and with a cube. Never would have dared to waste it on a cocktail. Make it a y'all pour and avoid making a second trip because you'll need one."
"I try to represent our country and drink American whisky whenever I can. This bottle is fantastic. I enjoyed it neat, no rocks or mixers."
"I have a bottle from a pal. My friends were asking me what I was serving when they came over. When I heard the price and experienced the taste, I was extremely impressed. So were my company."
"Rather light in color compared to real bourbon. That's definitely not a drawback! I'll say it anyway: SMOOOOTH! Very flavorful and not at all harsh, great neat or on the rocks!"
"Great whisky, especially at its price point. Something that everyone can enjoy."
"This is a great bourbon for all whiskey lovers. Full and flavorful while light and balanced. Love all the bottles in the Boondocks line. Definitely recommended!"
"After 11 years, I anticipated there would be greater intricacy. Crisp and clear, but lacking in depth."
"11-year whiskey at a price point of two years. rivals ANGELS Envy favorably. Does nicely either straight up or on the rocks."
"I made an impulse purchase and am happy I did. It is a tasty drink both straight up and blended."
"I brought a bottle for my friend’s son’s bar mitzvah. I told him, “now that you’re a man, it’s time to learn to drink like one” and proceeded to pour him a shot. After throwing it back, he immediately shot up seven inches, grew a beard befitting a lumberjack, and made a medium sized bear retreat in fear. His father suggested that he cut back on the drinking for fear of his grandmother fainting in fear at which point he busted his dad’s lip open with a bowling ball and declared “I’ll make the decisions around here, old man. ” I can’t wait to give my toddler a bottle."
