Doc Swinson's Moscatel Finished Bourbon offers a unique and delightful tasting experience, characterized by a marriage of sweet and fruity notes from both the bourbon and the Moscatel cask finishing. The nose features honey, caramel, citrus, and roasted nuts, while the palate delivers dried apricots, honey, sultanas with orange peel, toffee, and toasted nuts. The finish is sweet and textured, leaving a lasting impression of the complex interplay of flavors.

This truly small-batch bourbon starts with traditionally grown corn, rye and malted barley. All of our staple grains are cultivated exclusively for us on the Omlin Family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grains are mashed, distilled, and barreled in our Woodinville distillery, then trucked back over the Cascade Mountains to our private barrel houses, where Central Washington's extreme temperature cycles promote the extraction of natural flavors from the oak. Prior to being coopered, the barrel wood is seasoned in open air, rain, wind, sun, and snow for eighteen months, softening the wood's harsh tannins. The barrels are then slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enrich the wood's desirable flavors. This meticulous process yields a truly hand-crafted spirit with aromas of crème brûlée and spice cabinet, as well as notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean on the palate with a sweet, lingering finish.
