I bought it after seeing positive reviews, then watched a YouTube review from a respected source who wasn't a fan. I was quite nervous about opening it, but I eventually did. It's quite good; not my preferred port-finished whiskey, but certainly not bad. If the circumstances were right, I would get another bottle.

It's quite smooth. The port barrel aging imparts an overall sweet flavor.
Too much added flavor. I generally prefer just the bourbon.
Strong aroma and taste of Black Licorice.
A pleasant, light taste with notes of caramel and cherry.
Sweet with rich cherry notes.
