I am finding myself to be a huge brown Forman fan as of late and have been really excited to get into this bottle.
Nose: It’s got a rich banana and nilla wafer aroma like the homemade banana pudding I look forward to every potluck at church. The ethanol is not coming through on the nose, but it provides the experience of sticking your whole face in the foil bag of nilla wafers and taking a deep breath. It has a deep richness that I can’t name, but leaves me hoping to find chocolate in the palate or finish.
Palate: palate is much brighter than I expected. It hits with laffy taffy and banana runts. Brown sugar and vanilla custard (think cheap John filling) coats the whole mouth. Little black pepper and cinnamon helps balance out the sweet richness.
Finish: buttery slickness ends up leaving some sweet vanilla and caramel notes that have an oaky background.
This sure delivered for me! Highly recommend this bottle.
