Inspired by Scottish and Irish
Whiskey blending techniques. Doc
Swinson’s blended two different
bourbon whiskeys, one with a high
rye mash-bill and the other with a
higher corn. This combination was
then finished in three distinctly
different casks from Europe,
selected for their age and
character. The bourbon finishes in
Cognac, Oloroso sherry and Pedro
Ximenez Sherry casks from 3
months to over 16 months,
layering in a host of flavors from
chocolate, honey, orange peel, fig,
golden raisins, and crème brûlée.
Each cask is then tasted by our
master blender and selected to be married together in our ex-cognac marrying vats
called Foeders.
These large oak tanks the size of a car allow the spirits to marry and balance,
resulting in a well-balanced and smooth bourbon ready to be bottled and enjoyed.
