The Forgotten One

Written By Sondra Matara

16 Year Straight Bourbon Finished in Madeira Casks

Due to COVID-19, Doc Swinson's switched from producing whiskey to hand sanitizer to quickly meet the needs of our community. In the midst of that shift, dozens of our casks were delayed and stored in our warehouse before being rediscovered. This bourbon was one of those delayed projects, and spent a little extra time in the casks gaining an exceptional array of flavors. This release spent 12 years in American oak, followed by 4 years in two very distinct Madeira casks—one sweet and one dry.

This once in a lifetime release produced only 273 bottles and that is it, never to be made again.
