Abraham Bowman Port Finished Bourbon

One of the debut whiskeys at WhiskyFest New York 2012 this was finished in a barrel that held Virginia-made port…after it was used to age Bowman whiskey a boomerang finish. The nose gives baking chocolate tropical flowers and yes some of that port. Peppery and port-edged on the tongue solid fire from the 100 proof fat corn and fruit in the middle of the palate. Busy but purposeful. There’s a lot here and it’s all working together.
