Banana and nutmeg nose are the primary notes on nosing. Some walnut makes its way through. A nice, warm, sweet aromatic, like fresh baked banana-nut bread. A soft texture the greets you with a hard bite and fades quickly. Sweet toffee and cinnamon remain until the finish. Fades to a hint of oak and ground cinnamon spice and traces of banana. The addition of cubes (or water) lessens the initial bite. The toffee notes are enhanced and overall an improved dram. A sweet, straightforward, good textured bourbon. [84/100] [Tasted: 12/25/15]
