Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Triple Cask Sherry and Cognac Finished, 47.9%

Price: 75 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey


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)
