Woodinville Straight Bourbon Port Cask Finish
Bourbon — Washington, USA

First time trying anything from Woodinville.
Port is really prominent on the nose. Smells like it's going to be a real treat. Grape jam, toasted vanilla. The palate, however, fails to deliver. Really disjointed. Starts with the rich port, then transitions into a rather flat and cheap-tasting bourbon note. Finishes bitter with a lingering cough syrupy quality. Not pleasant at all on the finish. I'd say this is a good example of secondary finishing on bourbon that doesn't work, but in this case it may be that the bourbon isn't great to begin with.
Thanks @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington for the sample. I was a little worried that my taste appeared so out of line with the average reviewer on this one, but it looks like my taste was somewhat similar to yours.

@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington @soonershrink i wasn’t a fan of this either. Wasn’t bad, but not something I’d buy
I think our tastes might be pretty similar. Despite reviewers drooling over this (and the Powers 12 alike) I just don’t see it. Maybe we lack some unique taste buds, or brain cells, or something…
