Nose: This pops out of the glass. First notes mimic a banana split; banana, cherry, neapolitan ice cream, chopped peanuts, and whipped cream. But, then the malt makes it presence with Golden Grahams and watermelon bubblegum. Lastly, the rye finishes up with cracked black pepper and cinnamon candies.
Palate/mouthfeel: The mid-palate is super concentrated and focuses on fruity flavors. I can’t help but to quote Fred Minnick’s “Watermelon Jolly Rancher” note when he reviewed this. I get the same thing. Solid baking spices alongside black pepper translate on all angles. All those wonderful flavors from the nose start dropping down under your tongue.
Finish: Medium to long finish that gushes with watermelon, cinnamon candy, toffee, and cracked black pepper. This is honestly dangerous.
I got a lot left in this bottle, and I have a feeling the best is yet to come.

@BeppeCovfefe It seems popular enough that it will probably stick around for a while. Totally right about it being unique!
Old Forrester's Rye offering is very unstandard and seems to have a lot to offer, at the price I hope they keep making it.
