AROMA/ Banana, Sweetness, Corn, Woody FIRST SIP/ Smooth, Sweetness, Fruits, Oils, Slight Warmth, Banana TASTE/ Smoothness, Some Spice, Oils, Corn FINISH/ As Smooth as a homemade Banana Cream Pie baked in a wood fired stove. 80 proof The double filtering Mr. Daniel does on this is through sugar maple charcoal and it really does some fine work to this whiskey, creating some over the top smoothness, along with Sweetness and fruits. I found the banana flavors to be a wonderful surprise... the smoothness reminds me of a banana cream pie or the sweetness of a fine rice pudding! Please try this libation responsibly as it is D-Lishous! Ice or neat your choice... ice does and more dimension and complexity to this wonderful beverage. CHEERS!!
