A complex finishing process makes for a complex dram.
What began with only a small batch of bourbon barrels is today a unique collection of American Whiskies. There are still only 4 employees at Doc Swinson's but their dedication to perfection is enough for their Washington facility to keep winning accolades at the New York International Spirits Competition, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the SIP awards. Oh, and they release every one of their highly limited small batches at cask strength, letting you taste them in their full-blown glory.
Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Sherry & Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey is what happens when you've spent years experimenting with cask finishing and you know exactly what you're doing. It’s crafted from a blend of 2 straight bourbons from MGPI in Indiana – one with a 21% rye and the other 36% mash bill. It was aged for 5-6 years in new charred American oak before being blended and finished in three special casks: two types of sherry buts – PX and Oloroso – as well as fresh cognac puncheons. There, the bourbons were finished for 3 months before their 1-month long marriage in cognac foeders. You can expect a smooth and light dance of honey, oak, and leather flavors.

J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
