Doc Swinson’s Funky Drummer Rye Whiskey
Doc Swinson's Funky Drummer Rye Whiskey is part of the Exploratory Cask series from Jesse Parker's California blending house, and it takes the rum-finish idea a step further than Alter Ego. Two five-year-old straight rye whiskeys from MGP in Indiana are married and finished in Jamaican rum casks, the kind known for the high-ester funk that gives Jamaican rum its overripe banana and pineapple character, then bottled at 106.4 proof.
Whiskey In My Wedding Ring rated it 6.5 out of 10, or Very Good, describing spicy rum up front moving into pineapple and banana sweetness, with a textured, velvety mouthfeel and a funk that complements rather than overwhelms the rye. The reviewer called it a smart introduction for anyone new to rum-finished whiskey, since the Jamaican influence is deliberately kept in check. The name is a nod to the James Brown track, and it suits a whiskey that has plenty of groove without going off the rails. Try it neat or in a rye Daiquiri riff.
