The Doc Swinson Alter Ego is the result of many years of experimentation with cask finishing at the Doc Swinson facility in Washington state. They've found the winning recipe with this exceptional product.
Using a blend of two straight bourbons distilled at MGPI in Indiana, Doc's has crafted this deftly balanced bourbon to revival any of the new bourbon brands on the market today. The two bourbons (one a high 21% rye and the other a very high 36% rye mashbill) are each aged 5-6 years in new charred American oak before being blended and finished in three specially selected casks types.
Using two distinct types of Sherry Butts (PX & Oloroso) and fresh Cognac Puncheons, the bourbons are rested for an additional 3 months before being blended and married for another month in Cognac foeders. The Sherry Butts come from Montilla-Moriles Spain where their Sherry Solera Pyramids date back to the 1920’s, on a dry oxidized style Oloroso, the other a rich tangy sweet Pedro Ximinez style. Bottled at an invigorating 94.4 proof, this lovely whisky is one of the most drinkable on the shelf today.
