El Cuerpo (“The Body”)

Dec 22

EXPLORATORY CASK SERIES RELEASE

A rich pairing, this 5-year bourbon is finished in a selection of Pedro Ximenez Sherry Butts, delivering depth, thickness, and body. Doc’s Blender hand-selected the whiskeys from each sherry butt and skillfully blended them for these limited releases. Aptly named El Cuerpo, Spanish for “the body,” EL CUERPO is one of three limited bourbons that complete the Mind, Body, and Spirit line, named for their contributions to the Doc Swinson’s Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon.

This limited single finish expression allows you the chance to experience one of the individual pieces of the whole, all outstanding on their own at cask strength.
