The blend is finished in three distinctly different European casks, selected for their age and character, for anywhere from three months to over sixteen months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sherry butts come from Montilla-Moriles in Spain, where the sherry solera pyramids date back to the 1920s. Each cask is tasted by the master blender and selected to be married together in ex-Cognac foeders, large oak vats the size of a car, which let the spirits marry and balance before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe casks layer in chocolate, honey, orange peel, fig, golden raisins and crème brûlée, for a well-balanced, smooth bourbon that makes a fine gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a large ice cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chocolate, honey and orange peel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fig and golden raisins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crème brûlée.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doc Swinson's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey, triple cask finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75\/21\/4 and 60\/36\/4 corn\/rye\/malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-6 years before finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95.8 proof (47.9% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e PX sherry, Oloroso sherry and Cognac casks, married in ex-Cognac foeders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washington, United States (bourbons distilled in Indiana)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or over a large ice cube.
