Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Triple Cask Straight Bourbon Whiskey
95.8 proof 5–6 years Straight Bourbon Doc Swinson's Seattle, WA $65 Blend of 36% rye and 21% rye mash bills
Nose

Sweet and floral with prominent cherry notes reminiscent of cherry Coke; viscous in the glass with rose and fruit-forward characteristics.

Palate

Rich and bold with dark fruit flavors, particularly cherry; nutty notes from the Oloroso Sherry finish; develops cinnamon and spice on the mid-palate; velvety texture with vanilla and caramel undertones.

Finish

Nice cinnamon hug on the back of the palate with lingering spice from the high-rye mash bill; warm with a pleasant burn; evolves from initial punch to a beautiful expression.

Really good
A well-crafted, dessert-forward finished bourbon that opens with spice but unfolds into a beautifully complex, cherry-forward sipper with excellent texture and balance.
