Nose is harsh ethanol and rotted bananas. Palate is thin and hot - banana runts turn quickly to ascerbic, fresh oak, and then blast a hot alcohol burn. The best thing about this is that it’s mercifully short. Adding water only makes it a more expensive version of Old #7 that is still somehow worse to drink. Just don’t. There is no reason for this to exist aside from more labels on shelves, and you are better served by damn near anything else. It doesn’t happen often, but I regret buying this bottle.
