Appalachian Spirit, Doubled in Character – Swilled Dog Double Oaked Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Swilled Dog Double Oaked Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a proud expression of bold mountain craftsmanship, matured with intention in two separate new charred oak barrels. This second barreling intensifies the bourbon’s rich caramel and oak profile, while adding layers of toasted spice, warm vanilla, and deep sweetness for a finish as enduring as the Appalachian roots it springs from.
Tasting Experience
Appearance: Lustrous amber with copper highlights, signaling the extended contact with fresh charred oak.
Nose: Sweet aromas of butterscotch, toasted brown sugar, and cinnamon roll, layered with hints of charred oak, dried apricot, and baking spice.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, opening with notes of toffee, caramel corn, and nutmeg. The second oak finish brings forward bold char, vanilla bean, and dark chocolate undertones.
Finish: Long, rounded, and warming, with a touch of smoky sweetness and toasted oak that lingers on the palate.
Craftsmanship
Mash Bill: Traditional bourbon mash bill featuring corn, rye, and malted barley.
Aging: Aged first in new American oak, then re-barreled in a second new oak cask to intensify complexity and deepen flavor.
ABV: 58.5% (117 proof)
Distillery Origin: Crafted in West Virginia, embracing Appalachian independence and hands-on innovation.
Best Enjoyed
Sip neat or with a single cube to soften the spice and highlight the bourbon’s double oak richness. An excellent slow sipper for those who appreciate full-bodied, oak-forward bourbon.
Twice barreled for layered intensity, this is Appalachian bourbon with real backbone, available now on Royal Batch.
