This is the first product from the Swift Distillery in Dripping Springs, Texas. This central Texas single malt is produced using 100% Scottish two-row malted barley and is mashed, fermented, distilled and bottled on site. It is double-distilled in copper pot-stills and ages initially in lightly charred ex-Kentucky bourbon barrels. The whiskey is then transferred to ex-oloroso sherry butts to finish aging before bottling.

Tasting Notes

"The aromatics are full of sweet malt, apples, honey, and a touch of wool. Red berries come through on the palate as does a small touch of vanilla. Continued smells and tastes brought a beer-y quality out, this is a young whiskey after all, but the red fruits blend well here. The finish isn't extraordinarily long, but is more than acceptable. Job well done on their first whiskey."
