Taconic Distillery "The Ported Paragon" Collaboration Dutchess Private Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey Port Barrel Finish

Bold brown sugar and caramelized sugar sweetness meet rich baking spice and clove. Jammy undertones are immediately apparent, splitting staff with the addition of a touch of pepper and funky spice. Currant, blackberry, a touch of cherry, and cocoa mix nicely for a complex, palate-first whiskey. The proof on these always brings a satisfying palate viscosity and a long, barrel-driven finish.

The selection is one of two barrels picked collaboratively by The Prime Barrel & t8ke from R/Bourbon.
