Aroma is port is dominant making it super sweet but the oak attempts to balance it out, and almost manages to do it, but it ends up needing help from the candy and spice notes… but still falls just shy; Palate runs the same trail but pulls up some touches of roasted nuts and citrus, however, here the port is even more dominating and the whiskey borders one noted; Finish starts cloying but the fade-out to oak and smoke ends up making it not terrible.

I liked this better than you did, but I have to agree that it underperformed with its lack of presence (aside from sweet fruit).
Been reading and seeing much about Woodinville and I can’t seem to get a true pulse. It seems to be a love it or hate it bourbon.
Agree this fell flat and was unimpressed - might have been due to high expectations but certainly not for everyone
