Part 3 of 3 of our Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon. To round out Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon, we like to add a hint of what Pedro Ximenez casks bring to our blender’s cut thirty-six twenty-one base blend. These carefully selected sherry butts from Spain held sherry for over 20 years and contributes traditional notes of dried figs, cherries, and chocolate as well as strengthening the body of the bourbon. Here it is at the blender’s strength.

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 a copious night in the warehouse with glasses that refused to be set down, it became apparent that the blenders cut needs to be shared! Thanks to Jesse, this delicious mixture of 36% and 21% rye bourbon lingers on the palate and brings waves of vanilla, brown sugar-covered apricots, peanuts, & brown butter is now available to you! We’re sure you’ll find yourself enjoying late nights with Jesse’s blender cut too!

When Brazil comes to mind, we often think of the Amazon Rainforest, epic football tournaments, white sand beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see, this exotic finish is exactly that! A bountiful expression of butter cream, vanilla and cinnamon notes will fill the room, transporting you to memories of fresh baked snickerdoodle coming out of the oven.

“Bossa Nova” is a genre of Brazilian music inspired by Samba and Jazz and literally translates to “new wave” but the word “Bossa” is also an old Brazilian slang word meaning something done with particular charm. We feel this “new charm” (Bossa Nova) was a fitting name for this bourbon whiskey finished in Brazilian Amburana wood.

Part 1 of 3 of our Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon. French brandies are the birthplace of modern distillation and an inspiration for many of the spirits we produce. Cognac casks bring flavors of pepper, raisin, earth, nuts, and citrus. These cognac notes really bond with the base of this whiskey, our own thirty-six twenty-one blender’s cut. We find this to be one of our favorite cask finish expressions, especially at high proof. Here’s your chance to taste this exceptional piece of the whole. In the raw at the blender’s strength.

Part 2 of 3 of our Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon. This one is pretty special, oloroso sherry is the first barrel finish expression we started with at Doc Swinson’s. That’s right, the one that started it all! We found this to be one of our favorite finishes, as it plays exceptionally well with our base whiskey, Doc thirty-six twenty-one blenders cut bourbon. We find that oloroso sherry adds significant complexity & mouth feel while layering in notes of roasted nuts, spices & orange peel.

Pineau Des Charentes is a truly unique French aperitif, produced from a blend of fresh grape juice and young cognac, which is then aged in French oak barrels for several years. We let Doc Swinson’s blend of two five-year bourbon whiskeys rest in these barrels for several months, bringing hints of apricot, orange marmalade, and wildflower honey to the already delicious caramel and stone fruit notes of the bourbon. One of three limited-release exploratory cask fortified wine finishes produced for summer 2022, grab it before it’s gone.
