This bourbon was transferred into used barrels for its final maturation. These finishing barrels first held bourbon, and then held port wine. Those same barrels then aged Abraham Bowman's Port Finished Bourbon. For its fourth use, it aged a 9 year-old bourbon for an additional 3 years and 5 months. However, prior to filling those used barrels, half of the batch was barreled at 125 proof with the other half barreled at 115 proof. The bourbon was brought down to 100 proof prior to final bottling.

This is a great bourbon. Pours a very dark amber with a rich nose. The flavor is deep and complex, dark fruits like plums, toasted oak with a touch of tobacco notes for me. Very long finish with a nice, slight spice on the back palate. Very smooth for 100 proof. Not a lot of hug to it. Overall, this is an amazing bourbon, though very pricey. Still glad I picked it up for a try.
