Doc Swinson's Exploratory Cask Bossa Nova

Brazilian amburana wood has been hailed as the "whiskey unicorn." It is the secret sauce that fills the gaps with cinnamon spice and sweetness, making for a well-rounded whiskey that transports you back to fresh snicker-doodles and cinnamon buns right out of the oven.

We are excited to release this whiskey unicorn as these barrels have been a true dive into exploring complementary flavor profiles to our bourbons.

When Brazil comes to mind we often think of the amazon rainforest, legendary football tournaments, white sand beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see - this exotic finish is exactly that!

A bountiful expression of butter cream, vanilla, and cinnamon notes will fill the room, transporting you to memories of fresh baked snicker-doodles coming out of the oven. Bossa Nova is a genre of Brazilian music inspired by samba and jazz and literally translates to "new wave." But the word "bossa" is also an old Brazilian slang word meaning something done with particular charm. We feel this "new charm" (Bossa Nova) was a fitting name for this bourbon whiskey finished in Brazilian amburana wood.
