Nose: Big, ripe bananas are the first thing that come through on the nose. Banana bread, banana pudding, banana runts, anything that involves sweets and bananas can be found in the best way in this whiskey. A wonderful rich caramel and maple note can be found underneath the fruity notes. There’s a peppery oak and heat on the nose as well. Palate: Heat is the first thing that hits from the high ABV, but behind it we find the nose matches the palate. The palate actually outdoes the nose here with SUPER flavorful bananas bread covered in burnt caramel sauce, banana pudding, Nilla wafers, and a finish of sugar maple wood and black pepper. Very oily and palate coating! Over all: This is a FANTASTIC whiskey at a great price. The density of flavor is through the roof and you don’t have to search for anything as it jumps out of the glass and explodes on the palate. I will always keep a bottle of this stuff on hand. One of my favorite whiskeys, and the best part is you can find it just about anywhere. Rating: 8.9/10
