Gonna go against the pack here as I did not care for this. First of all there is banana lingering on the nose and than turns me off on bourbon. I do like bananas but not on my bourbon. Ethanol leads on the nose, there's a touch of caramel and baking spices but of course banana. The palate is hot and a touch bitter. The mouth feel is pretty good but there is no balance here. This was an expensive gift to a friend but none of those tasting it cared for it. Sure won't be looking to find any.
