American Kentucky straight bourbon (51%+ corn, aged 4-6 years in new charred American white oak per TTB) finished for 3-6 months in ex-port-wine casks (typically ruby or tawny Port from Portugal's Douro region). Layers the bourbon's vanilla-caramel-oak foundation with fortified-wine raisin, dark-fruit (plum, fig, ripe cherry), bittersweet chocolate, and a Madeira-like sweet finish. Distinct from Port-Finished Blended Rye (gen_348a1...) — bourbon base brings corn-sweet body vs rye's peppery spine; distinct from Sherry-Cask-Finished Bourbon — port's red-fruit/plum profile is sweeter and less oxidative than sherry's oloroso/PX raisin. Typically 43-50% ABV, gold-amber with copper hues. Reference: Angel's Envy Port Finish.
