Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon
USA
Utilizing methods from heritage blenders, Doc Swinson’s Master Blender, Jesse Parker, selected two bourbon mash-bills aged at least 5 years in American white oak and blended them together before finishing them in Cognac puncheons, Pedro Ximenez Sherry, and Oloroso Sherry Butts curated to layer in and tease out delicate flavor profiles. Once deemed ready all three finishing cask types are blended together and further rested in large oak barrels called foeders (that previously held Cognac) before bottling. We believe this award-winning whiskey pays homage to the history of blending, all while allowing the American bourbon to shine through. PROOF: 95.8 HOW TO DRINK: IT is spectacular neat, but we also find it goes well with ice or in a classic cocktail such as an old-fashioned, Manhattan or Sazerac. BATCH NOTES: Bourbon No. 1: 80% corn, 36%.
