Doc Whiskey

Doc Whiskey is a straight bourbon distilled and aged in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, then bottled as a single barrel release at full cask strength. The whiskey is never cut with water or filtered before bottling, so what comes out of the barrel is exactly what ends up in the bottle. Because every barrel is different, the strength shifts slightly from release to release, part of the appeal for drinkers chasing something rawer than the average bourbon.

The mash bill is wheated, built from corn, wheat and a touch of malted barley rather than the rye found in many bourbons, giving it a softer, rounder character. Each barrel spends more than three years in new charred oak before it's ready, and it's a single barrel pour rather than a blend, so no two bottles taste quite the same. It's worth comparing side by side with the rest of our whisky shelf.
