This week the guys are joined by head blender Jesse from Doc Swinson's! We discuss all things blending, finishing and selecting barrels. We discuss all of this while working through an awesome flight of whiskey's sent by Doc Swinson's for us to try including two not yet released whiskies coming this summer.

Topics Discussed: Sourcing whiskey to finish and age. The process of selecting barrel types and sizes for different blending goals and flavor profiles. The various flavors different types of barrels provide. Preferences in time to finish whiskey to achieve the preferred tasting notes. The legitimacy of some whiskey and spirit awards. The unique elements Washington weather adds to aging and finishing whiskey. Sourcing whiskey barrels from scotch distilleries. Our shared love of rum and Jesse's goal to blend rums as well as whiskey. Preliminary plans for a Patreon only tasting with Doc Swinson's. Check them out at https://www.docswhiskey.com/
