How does it rank in comparison to the cinnamon bourbon and the Jim Beam?

Cinnamon bourbon plus tawny porto = regrets.

Pretty high. It is a delightful little port.  They seem to be using a very smooth brandy as it has a burn in the finish without any harshness.  Cinnamon bourbon with Cherry Coke is not be underestimated however!

I like the Jack Daniels Kentucky Fire best.  Jim Beam Kentucky Fire is pretty good too but sweeter and less smooth.

I'm not much of a drinker any more*, but I loves me a nice glass of port once in a while. Just reading the subject line made me smile.

*Potential TMI Alert: Since menopause, any booze and I just can't sleep, so sleep trumps alcohol. Oh, but just a tiny glass of port sounds so yummy...

Do you like tawny or ruby port? I love the ruby ports - I don't think my budget allows for a tawny port worth a damn.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
