Nose... Maple Syrup meets ethanol and banana pie... Quite the combo.. Appearance... A balance of gold and light amber... Taste... I can't say enough about the unique flavor of graham crackers, nutmeg and a bit of pepper on the back end that this KSB offers. Really intriguing... Overall... I will definitely come back to this KSB due to its reasonable price and the enjoyable flavors it has to offer. Drinking this neat due to the lower proof was a good way to go and I'll be coming back for this as long as I have it available. Definite home bar necessity..
