Bourbon finished in wine barrels is always a dicey proposition as the end result is either a love it or hate it product. The Prisoner is no exception. The wine barrel imparts deep red fruits on the sip and influences it in ways that you can only get out of a barrel-finished product. The asking price is pushing its limit, however if you’re a fan of wine finished bourbons, The Prisoner is worth seeking out.
