I was a bit disappointed by this one as I've enjoyed other bourbons with wine finishes, but this was a bit overbearing for me. I'm not a big wine guy, so I may be a bit biased, but the finish is a little too strong and goes all in on the wine flavor. I've enjoyed Angel's Envy in the past, so I'm curious if Breckenridge's port wine finished bourbon is a bit more balanced than this. I do appreciate the finishes they are trying over there because the rum finished bourbon was some of the best I've had.

Initial taste but very impressed so far. Its got very traditional bourbon notes but very well balanced and the Madeira finish adds a perfect flair to it.
Notes of candy, lots of caramel. Very sweet on the nose. Fairly thin body. Good alcohol burn on the finish
Smooth but the weakest of the four Breckenridge whiskeys we tried this month.
Notes of honey, deep golden color, smooth finish
Smooth from start to finish
