Doc Swinson's - Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished In Garryana Oak Casks Batch 23-0004

Exploring new oak species has been a major focus for our master blender, Jesse Parker, and when the opportunity to work with our own local Pacific Northwest Oak, Quercus Garryana, Jesse jumped on the opportunity.

Found in Doc Swinson's backyard, the mighty Garryana oak grows in the Pacific northwest from norther California to southern British Columbia.

Garryana is a rare wood to be used in the maturation of spirits on account it is a very difficult wood to cooper into barrels. This rare profile is as if the best qualities of french and american oak came together in oak tree.

These Garryana casks take what is normally described as caramel and cinnamon found in your typical bourbon and transform them into molasses and clove with a undertone of Kansas city BBQ caramelized on the grill.

We are proud to incorporate our local oak into our spirits and we think you'll find it to be a new favorite.
