Isaac Bowman Straight Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels

Had this neat. The nose has a little heat, even though the proof is low. The port finish encapsulates the mouth feel and delivers the flavor and spice to the finish, which is excellent. Tried with a little ice, and it broke down, due to proof. Was looking for something a little different and this is a great option.

I get the port influence on the nose as well as vanilla. Fairly sweet with caramel, dark chocolate, and fruit. Very smooth, with only the slightest hint of spice and maybe a whiff of oak. The finish is short and dry. Not a bad sip, but I would rank this below some of the other finished bourbons I've tried, like Rabbit Hole Daringer and Angel's Envy. It's also a bit cheaper, so it's a trade off.
