Pretty smooth for a cheap whisky. I expected this level of smoothness with the Glenmorangie 10 (instead I got a pretty harsh, boozy, concentrated white wine with added sugar) and reckoned this Jack to be the archetype of a boozy moonshine: smokey, herbal, bitter and harsh, with lots of alcohol burn. None of that, it is a well behaved, polite blend. A round and creamy sip with a lingering note of banana and some toasted nuts. True, there is a faint terpentine note in the nose and the liquid coats the mouth very little, but it is far better than many people give credit for.
