Doc Swinson’s Exploratory Cask Bossa Nova Straight Bourbon is a unique expression that offers a taste of Brazil through its exotic finish. This bourbon is finished in Brazilian Amburana wood, which gives it a bountiful expression of butter cream, vanilla, and cinnamon notes that fill the room and transport you to memories of fresh baked snickerdoodles. The name “Bossa Nova” is fitting for this bourbon whiskey, as it is a genre of Brazilian music inspired by Samba and Jazz and translates to “new wave” and “new charm.”
