Tasting Notes

Nose

There is a pronounced medley of tropical fruit on the nose alongside notes of overripe pear, yellow plum, sweet corn, and caramel sauce. This is very fruity and pungent. Aeration helps bring forth notes of dried berries and spice with a faintly juniper quality. Notes of ripe, yellow bananas dominate, almost verging on banana fruit candy.

Palate

In the mouth, the whiskey is sweetly fruity, with cloying notes of ripe bananas and whole grain bread. The texture is soft and smooth with a gentle pepperiness. I would not guess this was 46% ABV; it reads far lower. There are, as expected, heavy banana notes on the fruity finish as the whiskey gently evaporated in the back of the mouth. This is smooth and easy drinking.

Finish
