Remarkably rich and sweet, with a noticeable port flavor that isn't overpowering. I'm keen to try and compare it to the 2023 blend.
The wine influences are truly prominent at the conclusion, an absolutely fantastic whiskey!! I adore it.
A great bourbon to enjoy neat or in its signature cocktail, The Henderson.
So good, nice and tasty..hot going down, but a pleasant heat.
Peanut, vanilla, and caramel notes abound, with a toasted character.
