Doc Swinson's Exploratory Cask Moscatel Finish Bourbon

Doc Swinson's Exploratory Cask Moscatel Finish Bourbon is a limited-release straight bourbon produced at MGP and finished by Doc Swinson's in decades-old Moscatel de Setubal casks from Portugal. The bourbon matured for five years and ten months in American white oak before spending an additional eight months and twenty-nine days in Moscatel casks. Bottled at 52.65% ABV, the distinctive finish brings vibrant citrus, honeyed fruit and rich sweetness to the underlying high-rye bourbon character.
