COLOR: Rich Goldenrod. NOSE: Banana-Cherry, with more ‘nana than cherry. There’s that ever-present nosing of furfural alcohol that is found in most of JD brands. There’s also some oak & leather too. TASTE: The first taste is one of the flavors “rolling” within my mouth; it’s creamy, vanilla dash caramel, with hints of oak and maple woods. But, a very goooood taste and an enjoyable drink! FINISH: Wonderfully smooth, but a very short & “clean” finish. I could drink this neat throughout the day.
