Angel's Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels

I could have sworn I'd written a taste on Angel's Envy before. Perhaps it was an older one and I deleted it with the intent of re-writing it some day. Well there's no time like the present. Port wine is immediately noticeable on the nose: mixed berries hits the nose with a distinct tart twang. There's a little bit of sweet nuttiness, like honey roasted peanuts but its so hard to get it past the fruit. On the taste, raspberries with caramel and raisins create an interesting tart, sweet and slightly musky taste. It isn't unpleasant though. A little bit of peppercorn and corn syrup make their way though mid-back of taste. The finish is moderate, a surprise for a bourbon that has little viscosity on the taste. Tart berries with raisins and peppercorn mingle with tannic oak. For a "budget" bourbon this certainly does the trick. Now, seemingly available anywhere; it won't disappoint.
