Doc Swinson's Golden Hour Rye, part of the Exploratory Cask Series, is a blend of rye whiskey finished in decades-old port casks and ex-rum casks. This limited release is bottled at 98 proof. Suggested retail price is $79.99.
This is not a rye that tries to impress through novelty or gimmicks. Rather, it invites comparison to the original, rewards attention in the tasting, and ultimately poses whether its added finishing enhances or distracts.
