DOC SWINSON’S
Open Curiosity.
To open a bottle of Doc Swinson’s is to open curiosity.
What began as a bold experiment when we uncovered a small cache of extraordinary Bourbon barrels has become an exploration spanning the globe to find just the right barrel, just the right blend, and just the right maturation point.
It’s the flavor of far off lands and nearly forgotten traditions blended with the familiarity of home. It’s the discovery of things lost high upon dusty shelves and locked behind hidden doors, now reclaimed and renewed. Like heirlooms and legends passed down from generation to generation, a bottle of Doc’s is brimming with the nuance and subtlety that only time and maturity can impart.
Doc Swinson’s is on a mission to celebrate curiosity in all forms, expanding the world of American whiskey along the way, and bringing you along on a journey of discovery.
It’s a vast and curious world, and it’s yours for the tasting — if you’re open to it.
- Doc Swinson’s. Open Curiosity.
our Home
Doc Swinson’s calls the far Northwest corner of Washington State home. Up here on the wild yet mild edge of the continent, the climate is reminiscent of the misty motherland of whiskey: Scotland. This notable similarity gives the whiskey we finish and blend here on the PNW coast a symphony of curious characteristics.

Our Purpose
TO EXPAND THE WORLD OF AMERICAN WHISKEY.
We are proud to be among the brands leading the transformation of the American Whiskey category.
Our goal is to get more people interested in American Whiskey. And it's working.
Non-whiskey drinkers often try Doc’s and are wowed.
That’s why we do what we do.
We want to expand the conversation about what can be done with American whiskeys.
We didn’t start as pedigree distillers with a centuries-old family tradition. We’re free to experiment and innovate in a way that traditional whiskey makers can’t or don’t.
Free to follow our hearts.
Free to be curious.
OUR VALUES
Our core values define who we are and what we make – we want to share them with you.
•Honesty & Transparency•
These go hand in hand. It’s all about making the sum of the parts better than the individual.
We are a blending house- which means yes, we are blending MGP whiskey in different barrel finishes. More about blending vs blended whiskey here.
•Openness to Ideas•
Experimentation is how we got where we are today. We aren’t scared of new ideas, which is why we continue to evolve!
We are constantly trying new things with our blends- how many whiskies we combine, the flavor profiles we pull, and more.
•Quality & intentionality•
We don't cut corners or compromise on quality. We source the best barrels from around the world.
Doc Swinson's is proud to offer you a whiskey experience that's not only of the highest quality but also surprisingly affordable.
Every drop of our whiskey is a result of painstaking effort, curiosity, expertise, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries.
