Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Solera Method Rye Whiskey Finished in Rum Cask

Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Solera Method Rye Whiskey Finished in Rum Cask is a pioneering spirit that blends the boldness of rye whiskey with the rich complexity of Caribbean rum. Created from an experimental project that combined aged rums from Trinidad, Venezuela, and Jamaica with empty bourbon casks, this whiskey underwent the traditional Solera aging method to infuse unique rum flavors into the rye. The result is a distinctive and flavorful whiskey that sets itself apart in the growing category of rum-finished rye.
