Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
The bourbon is a beautiful golden brown, with the longest, stickiest legs. I set my glass down and over a minute later, heavy drops of whiskey were still rolling down the side.
Nose:
The smell of butterscotch stands out, with lots of caramel and vanilla following up to create a very sweet scent. It reminded me of a happy memory with my grandma making peanut brittle.
Palate:
This whiskey reminds me of Christmas. Initially, I could definitely taste the vanilla, caramel and butterscotch, and the port follows nicely adding some additional candied fruit flavors. The overall theme was very warm and sweet, with a bit of dryness toward the end due to the port aging, but that took a while to set in. Final Thoughts & Score/Buy A Bottle: Score: 80/100 It’s a nice way to warm your bones during chilly weather, but I don’t think I could drink more than a small glass of Batchers Bourbon Whiskey Port Cask Finish at a time. It’s very sweet, and I felt like the sugariness stuck to the back of my throat a little bit. Even so, It was a very easy drinker, with really mellow flavors and a beautiful warm body. I enjoyed it a lot, but I’m not quite sure I would buy it for that price.
