For a 49.3% bourbon The notes aren’t as dark to me that a lot of 50% bottles in bonds show. Nose: Carmel brûlée, caramel, banana, salt, brown sugar, honey. Reminds me of the way I prepare my ribs: honey, butter, brown sugar and spices Taste: the first thing that jumped out to me regarding this was the banana finish. I’d not tasted that in a bourbon yet. But it had a pasty banana flavor that ends in a bit of spice. Salted caramel, brown sugar, pepper, vanilla.
