The Doc Swinson’s Collection began with an extremely small cache of Bourbon Barrels that were just too good to pass up. It has since grown into a unique and on occasion extremely rare, collection of American whiskies. The proof is in the palate. Each whiskey brought in is personally tasted by the three of us at Doc Swinson’s. If it’s good we will find a place for it in either the Flagship, Exploratory or Rare Release series.

When it comes to finishing techniques, we look to the old-world traditions that have stood the test of time, from Scottish whiskey blenders to the timeless sherry pyramids of the Spanish solera. However, sometimes we stumble upon a whiskey that needs no perfecting and we simply bottle at cask strength.

Whatever whiskey comes through these doors, our small group of tastemakers at Doc’s work hard to create flavor profiles that hold our expectations of great whiskey to a higher standard; and that starts by always letting the whiskey shine.

Producer Notes

Mash Bill

75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barley 

5-6yr MGP Straight Bourbon

95.8proof/47.9% Alcohol

Description:

When it comes to the Alter Ego Bourbon, we changed our finishing process to include two different types of Sherry Butts (PX & Oloroso), Cognac Puncheons and a long resting period in ex-Cognac Foeders to finish the marrying process.

This system took a while to build for several reasons, one of which was our desire to work with specific Sherry Butts from one of the oldest regions of fortified wine.

It took us some extensive searching before we found these Butts from Montilla-Moriles Spain where their Sherry Solera Pyramids date back to the 1920’s!
