Pineau des Charentes is a truly unique French aperitif, produced from a blend of fresh grape juice and young cognac, which is then aged in French oak barrels for several years. We let Doc Swinson’s blend of two five-year bourbon whiskeys rest in these barrels bringing hints of apricot, sultanas, and wildflower honey to the already delicious caramel and stone fruit notes of the bourbon.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Honey drizzled over warm roasted nuts leaning towards a sauternes wine
Taste: Honey crisp apple with fig jam and toasted rye bread warms to a bold flavor of French oak and baking spices.
Finish: Vanilla ice cream drizzled in maple and pie crust with a bold oakiness
