Nose

Little Book Chapter 7: In Retrospect: There is a strong whiff of baking spice, with a richness of body that recalls fresh coffee cake. Deeper, there are hints of cigar box wood and stewed peach.

Elvis Midnight Snack Peanut Butter, Banana & Bacon Flavor...: Burnt sugar and syrup overwhelm the senses with the sharp scent of young alcohol burning beneath. If you stay with it long enough, something like salt water taffy emerges.

Palate

Little Book Chapter 7: In Retrospect: There is an initial bright, fruity note like melon or fresh peach. As the taste opens up on my tongue, I can pick out more of the sweet vanilla and caramel that comes from the bourbons in the mix, and also rye notes of allspice and clove. The mouthfeel is smooth, but has a rich weight to it. As the finish sets in, I can feel a bready vanilla. It has a decent length, and slowly fades into notes of cut wood and dewey grass.

Elvis Midnight Snack Peanut Butter, Banana & Bacon Flavor...: Sweet banana candy immediately hits the tongue with a layer of bubblegum underneath. Thick caramel flavor, which could be interpreted as peanut butter-ish, arises while overripe bananas persist through the finish.

On the palate, the character of each whiskey really comes to life. This is where personal preference plays the biggest role.
