Well, it's another Saturday night and Game 4 of the World Series is in full swing. Another sample presents itself. This one being supplied by Pranay, and very much looking to sit back and take the game and the whisky all in.
The nose is pure Bananas Foster: Vanilla ice cream, brown sugar and cinnamon. Enough said.
Sweet and light as you take the first sip. Light brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon spice (Bananas Foster quasi-realized). As the dram opens, other flavors are drawn out: Tea, honey and apples. A slight tingle on the tongue keeps the palate active as it starts to fade.
The finish is unlike everything the nose and palate just experienced and spins things right-round. Mixed nuts, oak, and lemoms with a touch of white pepper. Nice and long without any real harsh bitterness.
This is a dessert in a glass. Sweet and enjoyable. Not overly complex; a refreshing simplicity. A perfect after dinner scotch cordial. [85/100][Tasted: 10/28/17]
