Amador Double Barrel Port Finish Whiskey

Port and bourbon is one of the great finishing pairings — Angel's Envy built a brand on it — and Amador's version comes with a Napa pedigree. The brand belongs to Trinchero Family Estates, the wine family behind Sutter Home, and its Double Barrel line takes Kentucky straight bourbon aged three to ten years, made from a high-corn, wheat-and-rye recipe sourced from Bardstown, and finishes it in the family's own wine barrels. The Port Finish rests that bourbon in barrels that held Trinchero's California port-style dessert wine, whose concentrated, fortified sweetness leaves dark fruit, raisin, and a rich, jammy depth in the wood. Bottled at 86.8 proof. The original Double Barrel took Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 93 points from Tastings.com; the Port Finish is the richest expression of the same idea. Expect dried fig, raisin, and dark cherry on the nose over caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, with a whisper of cocoa, opening into a full, velvety palate where the port's sweetness meets toffee, baking spice, and dark chocolate, finishing long, warm, and gently sweet with lingering dried fruit. Honest note: this is the sweetest of the Amador finishes, and it leans on its cask — that's the design. For a dessert bourbon, a winter nightcap, or a Manhattan that needs no sweet vermouth, it's an easy, generous pour from a family that knows barrels.
