Chattanooga Whiskey White Port Cask Finished review

Tasting Notes

About:

A custom blend created from three bourbon mash bills and aged for five years, including two in ex-white port casks from Portugal, it is bottled at 95 proof and priced at $59.99.
Appearance:
The two-year port cask finishing does the color in glass major justice, giving it a red berry addition to the golden-amber visual. The legs and viscosity for this one are decent enough.
Nose:
The custom blend and port cask finish shine on the nose, with rich berry notes and a strong backbone of baked bread, vanilla, cherry pie, brown sugar, and a hint of molasses.
Palate:
If port and bourbon had a baby, this would be this whiskey. It’s like drinking cherry pie from a glass, with profound berry notes that dance with vanilla, oak, brown sugar, molasses, custard, and a hint of spice.
Finish:
This finishes clean and decadent, holding a nice sophisticated note as it fades off slowly.
Comments:
There are a lot of port-casked finished bourbons out there, but only so many like this one. Find yourself a bottle if you still can.
