Tastes like honey roasted peanuts. Sweet up front, some faint wood notes. Short finish. Slightly harsh at the end. Don't let the Elmer-duplicate bottle fool you, but this stands on its own. Maybe overpriced by 5 or 10 dollars. 6/19/17
The strong peanut scents remind me of Heaven Hill (perhaps the source of this juice?), which I like, and that's coupled with banana and a bit of char. So this smells like an Elvis Presley sandwich. On the palate, honey roasted peanuts and wood. A bitter aftertaste remains (think pecan shells), and gets stronger as you go. Short finish. Adding some limestone water brought out some vanilla on the nose. I do like this, but again, I would enjoy it a lot more if it were $10 cheaper. 6/21/17
