Doc Swinson's L'Esprit Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey
Doc Swinson's is a non-distiller producer based in Washington state, founded in 2017, that sources bourbon from MGP in Indiana and finishes and blends it at its own facility in Ferndale. L'Esprit, French for "the spirit," takes the five-year-old straight bourbon behind its Alter Ego Triple Cask and finishes it entirely in Cognac casks. The base blends two MGP mash bills, 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley and 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley, matured in 200-liter American white oak. It then moves into ex-Cognac Limousin oak puncheons of 225 to 600 liters, and Doc's blender hand-selected whiskey from individual puncheons for the final blend. It was bottled at cask strength, 57% ABV, as a limited release in the Mind, Body and Spirit line. The brand's notes give orange marmalade, soda bread, citrus and marzipan on the nose; golden raisins, wildflower honey, dark chocolate, dried tobacco, crème brûlée and candied orange peel on the palate; and a toasted oak finish balancing sweet and citrus. The Beverage Testing Institute scored it 94 points with a Gold Medal in 2022, calling it a superb, full-throttle bourbon.
