Doc Swinson’s Session Blend Straight Bourbon is produced by Distiller’s Way and sourced from MGP in Indiana. It is bottled at 90 proof, and aged for five years in American white oak with char #4 and char #2 heads. The blend consists of two mashbills: one with 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley and another with 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley.
Lightly peppery — more white pepper than black — later on, the finish is rather savory, with overtones of the lumberyard and smooth peanut butter. “Session” is the perfect descriptor for this otherwise harmless product.
I found myself reaching for this a few nights in a row. It's not a rich and viscous as other whiskeys distilled by MGP and released at a similar price point.
