Old Potrero Straight Malt Whiskey finished in Port Barrels

This is absolutely fabulous. Its is a little funky and musty but then takes a huge turn to spearmint candy. The port brings a touch of fruit and swetness on the back end. Super unique and excellently crafted. Lucky to get a bottle.

Let sit for about 5 minutes ⏲️ 👀: Foggy brown-orange hues with not much legs going on, just noticed that the cork is synthetic (🤷); 👃: Some funkiness going on that I can't place right now, smells real fishy for real, cinnamon wafts, though this is 114.4 proof there isn't much evidence of strong alcohol going on, strawberry jam?; 👅: Can taste the port barrel influence here at the outset, thick like baking soda, baking spices and abound at the end, really dusty like you just walked into a desert storm, despite being finished in port barrels it isn't that sweet; 🏁: Not too lingering except for the baking soda taste so your palate should be clean by next sip. Not too complex. Great for mixing. Reminds me of a stronger Sazerac.

Tasted with David on 8/8/2020 Tennesee Whiskey Maybe the best thing I've ever had? Chalky sugar, licorice, dates, very complex. Very high ABV but not at all rough to drink. It's surprisingly smooth. It's a shame it's so rare!

At 62% you gotta add some water. Once you do that, you’re left with quite a tasty, complex number. Can definitely taste the port finish, and that flavor serves this rye well.

Tasty. Soft finish. Hints of licorice.

certainly interesting, easy drinking given the proof. tastes kind of like they dumped a bunch of port in, a lot of sweetness. spicy notes from the rye but drowned by sweet wine flavor on both ends

I have a private cask selection finished in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. The wine pretty much dominates the nose and palate. Not my personal cup of tea.
