EXPLORATORY CASK SERIES RELEASE #21-003 Inspired by French brandy distillers, this 5-year bourbon is finished in a selection of cognac puncheons delivering balance and richness to our bourbon. Doc’s Blender hand-selected the whiskeys from each puncheon and skillfully blended them for this limited release and aptly named it L’ESPRIT — French for “the spirit.” L’ESPRIT 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.  PROOF: 114.7 PRODUCING DISTILLERY: MGP MASH BILLS: 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley FINISH & MATURATION: American White Oak 200L minimum 5 years, Ex-Cognac Limousine Oak 225-600L. 11 months, 13 days SENSORY NOTES: NOSE - Orange marmalade, Soda bread, citrus and marzipan PALATE - Golden raisins, wildflower honey, dark chocolate, dried tobacco, crème brûlée and candied orange peels FINISH - Exceptional balance of sweet and citrus notes, a smooth sipping bourbon with a toasted oak finish
