Nose: honey, peanut, some alcohol. Palate: i get the trademark Barton banana smoothie flavors for sure. also some woodiness, some rough hewn oak really coming through. Finish: the 100 proof comes to the forefront as the dram finishes. it’s not particularly mellow but it is greatly enjoyable. i’m left with a candy note- almost like candied pear or something. Overall: an incredible value for a daily drinker; i don’t even feel tempted to put this in cocktails and i really enjoy the flavor profile for what it is.
