Today’s Whiskey Advent Calendar bottle brings bourbon and tequila together in an unexpected way: Mary Dowling Tequila Barrel Finished Bourbon. This innovative finish blends classic Kentucky bourbon character with bright agave barrel influence, creating one of the most talked-about experimental finishes of the year.
In today’s review, we score this bourbon across nose, initial taste, ending notes, collection worthiness, and final rating. We also cover Mary Dowling’s unique history and why the brand’s bold finishing techniques are making waves in the whiskey world.
If you're searching for finished bourbon reviews, tequila-influenced whiskey, or new bourbon brands worth exploring, this episode has you covered. Our Advent Calendar series features a new whiskey every day until Christmas — from bourbon to scotch to world whisky.
