Backwoods Bastard (2015)

John Paulsen

This has aged well. Little to no oxidation. Just caramel goodness.

Holding up, but maybe thinning? Or its just my palate after a long day. Hard to beat either way. 4.2

Ol' dirty bastard now country gentlemen of many a long tooth, telling witty stories of possums lost; age now in decline, so tap this mountain resource while you can.

Mark Halvorsen

This is great. Really nice whiskey flavor but doesn’t overpower the caramel, dates, and raisins. Very smooth and smells boozier than it is.

Greg Seroka

FLN, 6 years old! Probably past its prime but still solidly aged. Caramel and some smoke on the end. Pretty nice!

Vincenzo Daurio

Very tasty for a 6 yr cellared scotch age, the bourbon flavor is still very good. Highly recommended 👍👌👏🏻

I still had this around?

Also asked Burl if he had any vintage Harvest Ale

Carey F.

Cellar maintenance, still one of my favorites!

Devon Kotch

I think it’s held up. Reminds me more of an old ale now, but I am good with that. Still has strong bourbon character, and a little wood-y.

Benjamin Bacon

Nick Mayra

Little oxidation but not bad for about 6-1/2 years old.

Al Carver

Cold night cellar grab. Oak scotch molasses

Started to fade, but still exceptional!

Mickey F

Not terrible after 7 years. Smooth funky raisins

Pint Floyd

Justin Wade

Good. Maybe slightly past.

Jason L.

Steve Schaefer

Keith Samuelson

Brian T

Time has been kind to you.

Pat Solano

Huh! Still very effervescent and quite sweet. Has a smooth velvety texture that finishes a bit chalky bringing notes of vanilla, coconut, prunes, sherry, and chocolate pudding. On the verge of losing character but complex and still tasty.

Jeff Vanatter

Jess H.

Jonathan

Very thin and little head when poured, barrel has taken a back seat to the toffee, biscuity, base beer with slight hints of vanilla, fig and peppery anise.

John Encarnacion

Had in 2022. A little toned down. But it surprisingly still had some decent scotch flavoring.

Matt Bogert

Still decent but likely past it’s prime. Notes of caramel, bit of fruity esters, and not much else. Extremely smooth with zero alcohol heat remaining, you’d never know it’s >10%. Drink ‘em if you got ‘em!

Køhl

Jon Snow approves

Dan Wiegand

Mark Herendeen

These definitely have a shelf life. This one is the best of the series I've been enjoying, starting with 2012. 2017 is left. Interested to see how that one is. Thanks Brandon S.!
