Tasting Notes

Nose

The smell is both of ripe fresh banana and caramelized banana. Little hint of vanilla and spices including black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Palate

This bourbon is certainly something to sit with. Its got a little heat up front to remind you of its alcohol content, but never gets overwhelming. I get flavors of brown sugar, butter, and bread up front. This transitions to a rich mid note that tastes of alcohol, in a good way. There is just a hint of banana flavor that is more in line with that banana flavored candy than what was on the nose. This all finishes with a dry long finish of toasted oak, vanilla, and a bit of black pepper spice. The addition of water to this upped the sweetness and spice but made a lot of the individual flavors disappear. For me this is much more interesting out of the bottle than when diluted.
