Exploring new oak species has been a major focus for our Master Blender, Jesse Parker and when the opportunity to work with our own local Pacific Northwest oak, Quercus Garryana, Jesse jumped on the opportunity. Quercus Garryana, or more commonly called Oregon oak is found growing on the Pacific Coast from Northern California to Southern British Columbia, it runs through Doc Swinson’s backyard. This marriage of our signature whiskeys and Oregon oak barrels really showcases the richness of the Pacific Northwest terroir offering deep, dark, and complex notes ranging from molasses, toffee clove, Italian plum and wood smoke.
