Appearance... Mid to Dark Mahogany Nose... Definitely buttery, blending maple syrup, and cherries, which probably says a lot about the Port. Taste... Nutty, touched with banana, marshmallow, reminding me of french toast topped with melted butter. The Port is pronounced and enjoyed throughout the finish. Overall... For an under $50 this just turns out to be so solid. It's definitely a rye forward whiskey while also offfering a very rich and decadent breakfast appeal. Definitely worth a try...
