Doc Swinson's Blender's Cut Bourbon 57.5% ABV 750ml

When creating the blends for our whiskeys it is often true that the only person that ever tastes the origin blends for many of our finished cask releases is our blender, Jesse Parker. Many times these blends never leave the blending lab; but every once in a while, we take note of the ones enjoyed the most.

Our Blenders Cut Bourbon is one of these, the very origin blend that was refined originally for Doc’s awarded Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon. This expression was not only released to showcase the Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon’s roots, but because it is an exceptional straight bourbon we truly enjoy. Blenders Cut Bourbon is blended using a labor intense and skillful method of cask selection ,ensuring the resulting whiskey is bottled at a cask strength of 115 proof every time.

BLENDERS CUT, OUR ORIGIN BLENDS, ARE THE FOUNDATION OF ALL WE DO HERE AT DOC SWINSON’S. ENJOY THIS HIGH-PROOF BLEND OF 36% AND 21% RYE BOURBONS ON A LATE-NIGHT EVENING OF YOUR OWN, AND YOU, TOO, WILL FIND YOURSELF WANTING TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD.

“HIGH RYE WHISKEY OF THE YEAR” - TALES OF THE COCKTAIL, 2022

After numerous releases of our Triple Cask Alter Ego Bourbon, Jesse Parker, Doc's blender, started to notice a late-night trend as we sampled the base bourbon. After witnessing copious nights in the warehouse with glasses that refused to be set down, it became apparent that the Blenders Cut needs to be shared! Aged 5 years, we offer this to you at a whopping 115 proof, from the cask. Enjoy straight from the bottle or add a little water to bring out some more flavors.

PROOF: 115

PRODUCING DISTILLERY: MGP

TASTING NOTES: apricots, brown sugar, peanuts, toasted almond, charred oak, dark chocolate, and cream

HOW TO DRINK: Spectacular neat, but we also find that it goes well with ice or in a classic cocktail such as an old-fashioned, Manhattan, or your favorite bourbon cocktail.
