This review is based on the drink being neat. The nose is a very mild with buttery bread, cinnamon, and apple. Even burying your nose in the glass isn't going to bring out the alcohol burn to the senses. The pallet is a mild corn and vanilla. The port sweetness comes through in the end and sits on the tongue like a whisper. It has the initial burn to the tongue, but turns smooth as it makes it's way down the rabbit hole... This is a very mild drink. Be great on a hot summer night outside taking in nature and listening to the sounds that are around you.
