An innovative, limited-edition expression from Doc Swinson’s Exploratory Cask series, Bossa Nova Double Wood bridges Brazilian flair with classic bourbon foundations. Matured initially in new American oak and finished in ex-cachaça barrels, this release delivers layered character and rhythmic nuances.
