Inspired by the old-world techniques of Scottish and Irish Whisk(e)y distillers where much of the magic lies with the art of blending. We borrowed and twisted many of these techniques to produce Doc's Alter Ego Bourbon. Our goal was to take good whiskies, blend them together and see how we could enhance these blends as well as maintain the flavor of the whiskey itself. After years of finishing whiskies in a variety of casks, we believe we have struck success using Olorosso Sherry, Pedro Ximenez Sherry, and Cognac casks from a number of curated producers.

Soft and inviting, the nose pulls you in with vanilla pound cake, ripe strawberries covered in cream, and candied nuts. That sherry and cognac cask maturation shines through on the palate, as there’s a heavy hand of raisins, dates, bread pudding, chocolate-covered Bing cherries, and cherry cola. The finish is fizzy—that Coca-Cola packs a punch—and delicately creamy, and it lingers on for some time. (3,600 bottles)
