Along with their ability to source phenomenal bourbon and whiskey such as the 15-year Kentucky bourbon, they also put together some unique finishing techniques based upon old-world traditions, borrowed from Scotland and Spain. We’re selling out before bottles even hit the shelves in many places.”ĭoc Swinson’s Whiskey has made a name for itself throughout Texas, California, Georgia, Tennessee, and many other states over the last few years as a prime offering of American straight whiskies.

Doc Swinson’s meticulously curates its sourced spirits, and they are very open about what goes into each bottle. Although the whiskey is sourced, and many drinkers tend to turn their noses up to MGP, transparency is key. If you have been eyeing a bottle of Joseph Magnus, Doc Swinson’s Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon shares similarities but for an affordable price given its younger age.ĭoc Swinson’s Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon is now on its sixth batch. However, triple casks only make up a handful of whiskies on the market. It is not new to finish whiskey in these types of casks, in fact, Doc Swinson’s is borrowing from old-world techniques. The golden liquor then fills Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry butts, and Cognac puncheons. The bourbons are aged at least five years before blending. One of Doc Swinson’s experimental finishes is a blend of two bourbon mash bills.
The lineup consists of the usual bourbons and ryes, plus experimental casks, and different finishes. Sitting on barrels, Jesse Parker and his business partners bought more barrels to create the new brand. While Doc Swinson’s imports their whiskey from MGP, Parker works tirelessly as Head Blender.
