Normally I try to do a nose, pallet, and finish. I couldn’t get past the bitter finish. Almost an artificial flavor bitterness. I will probably use for cooking. Not sure if it can be used for mixing. The one positive is if you want a pour to last for a while, this is it. You don’t rush back for the next sip.

Nose: banana and light grain Palate: banana, vanilla light oak Finish: warm and banana This was Yankee Spirits store pick. Full strength a bit high for my palate.
