The nose on this screams young with green bananas that are being barbecued with some peat briquettes then comes some walnuts, vanilla wafers, light barrel spices, nail polish and a medium burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel with those peaty grilled bananas, walnuts and vanilla wafers before the bitterness kicks in and overwhelms before last note of nail polish and medium ethanol bite comes in. The finish isn’t saving this either, it’s just bitter with unripe green fruit and some peat.
This is not impressive and I might have been able to pull more notes out of this one, but just a few tastes are all I can take. Looking at their website shows this is between 1.5 and 4 years old which seems too young and shows on their product. Maybe if they were in Texas with some brutal heat this would be better, but seems like a rushed product to me. Big thanks to @ContemplativeFox for this sample.

@ContemplativeFox I ask myself the same thing with the likes of JW Red and Famous Grouse and then look at their numbers and shut up
Completely agree. I don't know why they bothered to market this in the shape it's in.
