Experience the luxurious blend of rich bourbon and sweet, fruity notes with 1792 Port Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This exceptional expression from 1792 Distillery showcases the artistry of aging bourbon in carefully selected port wine barrels, creating a unique and harmonious flavor profile that is both complex and indulgent.
1792 Port Finish begins its journey as a traditional Kentucky straight bourbon, crafted with the finest grains and aged to perfection in charred oak barrels. After reaching maturity, the bourbon is then transferred to port wine barrels for a secondary aging process, allowing it to absorb the rich, fruity characteristics of the port while maintaining its robust bourbon foundation.
In the glass, this bourbon displays a deep mahogany hue, a visual hint of the depth and richness that awaits. The nose is immediately captivated by a symphony of aromas—ripe dark fruits such as blackberries and plums meld seamlessly with the classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. There’s a subtle hint of spice, along with a trace of chocolate and dried figs, that adds layers of complexity and intrigue.
The first sip reveals a palate that is both bold and velvety smooth. The port barrel influence shines through with rich flavors of red berries, raisins, and sweet jam, perfectly complementing the bourbon’s natural sweetness. This fruity richness is balanced by notes of toffee, dark chocolate, and a gentle spice that dances across the tongue. As the flavors develop, the oak’s influence becomes more pronounced, adding depth and structure to the experience.
The finish is long, warm, and satisfying, with the sweetness of the port cask lingering on the palate, gradually giving way to the spice and oak of the bourbon. It’s a finish that invites contemplation, with each sip offering something new to discover.
1792 Port Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a masterful example of how secondary cask aging can elevate and transform a bourbon’s character. The port wine barrels impart a luscious fruitiness that enhances the rich, bold flavors of the bourbon, resulting in a whiskey that is both sophisticated and approachable.
