Pineau Des Charentes

Straight bourbon whiskey finished in Pineau des charentes casks

Fruity wine comes to party with classic bourbon flavors

Pineau des Charentes is a truly unique French aperitif, produced from a blend of fresh grape juice and young cognac, which is then aged in French oak barrels for several years. We let Doc Swinson’s blend of two five-year bourbon whiskeys rest in these barrels for several months, bringing hints of apricot, orange marmalade, and wildflower honey to the already delicious caramel and stone fruit notes of the bourbon. Grab it before it’s gone!
