Haven't consumed any in maybe 3 years. As i recall, AV is aged in Port barrels. Kind of a different flavor profile. Can't say I loved it or hated it. This I can say - it took me a long time to get rid of the 3 I bought for my bar. Just about all the 50 other Bourbons sold better. In fact I may have consumed most of it, being a team player & all.
