Bright and citrusy, this 5-year bourbon is finished in a selection of Oloroso Sherry Butts, delivering complexity and brightness. Doc’s Blender hand-selected the whiskeys from each sherry butt and skillfully blended them for this limited release and aptly named it LA MENTE, Spanish for “the mind.” LA MENTE is one of three limited bourbons that complete the Mind, Body, and Spirit line, named for their contributions to the Doc Swinson’s Alter Ego Triple Cask Bourbon.
This limited single finish expression allows you the chance to experience one of the individual pieces of the whole, all outstanding on their own at cask strength.
