The port wine adds a lovely red hue to the whiskey. Sweetish aroma of chocolate-covered cherries. Easy sipping, kind of a rum raisin, spiced-chocolate flavor. Port seems to be adding a subtle sweetness to the palate, and there's a hazelnut nuttiness on the backend. Down to the last 0.75 ounces of the 750ml bottle, I did not find it syrupy. I used it for an Old Fashioned or two along the way, which was excellent, but in a way it's already a pre-mixed cocktail as is and doesn't need simple syrup. I also blended it with Jack Daniels Bonded, which was very good. At $48, a very good value.

Light caramel. Aroma of caramel, orange, and carrot cake. Sweet upfront, oak in the middle, and spice on the back end. Long finish.
