The nose on this one is certainly unique, but I don't know that I love it. Reminds me of over-ripe bananas (before you freeze them or make banana bread out of them). On the palate it is certainly smooth, and a notable improvement than the standard Jack, but I don't know if that's enough to make it better. Finish isn't very long, and the "double mellowing" doesn't do much for me. Glad I only got a sample of this and not the bottle. It's not that it's offensive, it just doesn't have much to offer.
