Doc Swinson's Blenders Cut Cask Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

THIS HIGHER PROOF RELEASE EMPHASIZES THE BOLDNESS OF THEFINISHING CASKS, A TREAT NORMALLY ONLY DOC'S MASTER BLENDER GETS TO EXPERIENCE.

We borrowed and twisted many of these techniques to produce Doc’s Alter Ego Bourbon. Our goal was to take good whiskies, blend them together and see how we could enhance these blends as well as maintain the flavor of the whiskey itself. After years of finishing whiskies in a variety of casks, we believe we have struck success using Olorosso Sherry, Pedro Ximenez Sherry, and Cognac casks from a number of curated producers.

Whether accentuating or layering in characteristics, we believe these techniques enhance the spirit and still focuses on the bourbon. These casks allow the delicate characteristics of past occupants to mingle and marry with the smooth yet bold aspects of Doc’s Straight Bourbons. Each release is then meticulously blended and married in ex-Cognac Foeders prior to bottling. Our finishing and blending techniques impart a dry nuttiness, subtle sweetness, and an extended finish to an already great whiskey, while still allowing the bourbon to shine.

This higher proof takes our Triple Cask finishing process to the next level. Experience the boldness.
