Finished in Manhattan barrels

Neat, Midwinter's Night's Dram finished, Binny's release, barrel 7799, 100 proof Nose is sweet and clean, vanilla, oak, citrus, dark fruit, rye. Taste is honey sweet, vanilla, plum, cardamom, cinnamon, other rye spice with some oak tannins balancing it out what would normally be cloying. Finish is medium with a little saccharine, dark fruit, oak tannins, and a little cocoa powder. A nice sipper that's well balanced, especially considering a port barrel is involved. The port barrel enhances rather than dominates. Great example of a finished whiskey
