I am not a big fan of this one. While smoother than the original, this just isn't a very complex whiskey and it doesn't taste particularly good. There is a taste of banana at the beginning that gradually desolves into a sharp alcohol taste after a few seconds. On the nose, it doesn't have a particularly notable smell, with faint pepper and tart fruit being the notable scents. The finish is actually sort of pleasant, as it gives a pretty strong kick for such a smooth whiskey. Overall, there is far better out there.
