With baked cookies and orange marmalade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taste<\/strong>: Lots of port wine with rye spice that lingers. Orange, cinnamon, burnt tobacco. A lot of brown sugar. Finish is a little rubbing alcohol with clove. I was really impressed with this. I wonder how this whiskey differs from Midwinter Night&#8217;s Dram that also is finished in Port Barrel. The ABV is certainly higher. This was a great thing to try.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a title=\"View 'High West Rendevous Rye (Port Barrel)' on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/22908553539\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block;
