Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Solera Method Rye Whiskey Finished in Rum Casks
5–6 years base, solera-aged Rye Whiskey Doc Swinson's Seattle, WA Blend of 95% rye and 51% rye mash bills
Nose

Spiced pear with cinnamon, reminiscent of canned spiced pears; espresso bean and cocoa powder notes; anise and subtle citrus; fresh and inviting.

Palate

Spiced pear and cinnamon leading; creamy with espresso and cocoa; fig notes; evolves on the tongue with creme brûlée qualities; fruit-forward with subtle complexity; approachable despite high-rye content.

Finish

Lingering spice; dessert-like quality; Turkish fig notes; smooth despite the rye spice profile; after-dinner whiskey character.

Very good
A sophisticated, dessert-forward rye whiskey with excellent complexity from the Solera process, blending high-rye spice with rum cask sweetness and fruit to create an approachable, evolving sipper.
