The taste has an excellent balance of raspberry jam, white pepper, a hint of clove, coffee beans, and dark chocolate. The finish is long and well-rounded with berries, chocolate, and a hint of spice. Very nice!
Chewy raisin, bittersweet chocolate, and a growing coffee element pair well with the lingering and more rustic elements from the initial barrel, with a cocktail cherry on top for the finish.
Combining a flavorful Texas bourbon with a tawny port barrel finishing makes for a memorable, dessert-like sip that will appeal to those who like bold, unique whiskeys.
