N: Chalky mineral banana (it is JD, after all). Mint, green grain, green banana. Caramel, vanilla. Medicine and cleaning supplies - just the right amount. Ethanol starts to get a bit strong the longer you keep your nose in the glass - can't complain at the price though. P: Caramel, vanilla, baking spice (like a cardamom or a caraway). Dash of milk chocolate. Mid palate stays rich, round and malty with a bit of coffee roast and some sweet oak. Finish puts good heat on the tip of the tongue right away, but that fades and you get a nice bitter oak, more caramel, vanilla, green rye grain, and a mint that moves from leaf to candy to breath mint over time. My first thought was, how is this 15 bucks? I didn't even notice it was 90 proof until half the bottle was gone. But then I remembered the Old Overholt BIB (i.e. 100 proof), which is hands down better (no shame in that) and runs about $20, as I recall. Seems great rye can be had cheap. And this, a pretty good rye, can be had even cheaper. It's no doubt a JD product - you get that profile early - but what comes later adds great depth, flavor, and character. This is easily repeatable, an easy pick up at the grocery store if you're not sure what to grab.
