Doc Swinson's Toasted French Oak Finish Bourbon
Prix régulier $138.00
Resting your spirits in additional new or used oak of different origins can help balance, intensify, and mellow or savor the spirit in ways never tasted before. This is the first release of Doc Swinson's double oak whiskey line - with the intention to focus on French oak. The wood management team selected casks often found in the maturation of some of the best wines in the world. Nestled in the heart of Cognac, France, Taransaud Cooperages is well known for high-quality and limited-production oak casks. Starting with trees from the famed Troncaise forest and seasoning the oak for no less than 36 months causes these barrels to have a subtle focus on minerality, and a boldness of sweet and spicy notes that complement this Ross and Squibb's (MGP) sourced bourbon extremely well.
