Oh my... Gentleman Jack is no gentleman. He's more like a charming sociopath who lures you in, only to then put you in a compromising situation. From the get-go you're not sure whether you like this or don't - there's hints of great oak charring with a touch of maple syrup, only to then be off-put by overripe banana. The palate has that additional element of vanilla, which works really well until you encounter that damned overripe banana again. It just doesn't work! The finish is light and smooth, and I can see how some people would adore this whiskey. I'm just not one of those people.
