NOSE: Decadent brown sugar, jelly-filled donuts, and crème brûlée éclairs. Palate: Jammy and sweet with lingering caramel and brown sugar. FINISH: Cracked pepper, raspberry jam, and charred oak. AWARDS: 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition: Double Gold Medal. 2024 New York International Spirits Competition: Score of 95 points. NOTES: Doc Swinson's Golden Hour is a straight rye whiskey that artfully blends two mash bills: one with 95% rye and 5% malted barley, and another with 51% rye, 45% corn, and 4% malted barley. This combination is aged for over seven years in American white oak barrels (Char #4) before undergoing a solera finishing process in ex-rum casks for up to three years and a final maturation in port casks for 3 to 6 months.
