Big Bottom Whiskey Port Cask Finish Batch #2 3 year old

A relatively high rye grain content for a bourbon (36%). The port adds richness (fleshy fruit) and helps the whiskey taste older than it really is (by masking some of its youthfulness?). Notes of ripe cherry soft plum mandarin orange in syrup dates and toffee. The spices (cinnamon mint and a dusting of cocoa) pick up mid-palate and finish strong and warming. A slight bit more port than I would prefer but the spice vibrancy still shines through.
