Signature JD banana nut scent along with oak, maraschino cherry, musty barrel funk, and a hint of clove. Palate is like a mix between Bananas Foster and rocket fuel. Proof definitely comes through in a big way and overpowers everything. There’s some good stuff in the finish; sour cherry, cola, cinnamon, and charcoal but the flavors struggle to get through the heat. Heavy, syrupy mouth feel, coating the palate and throat and then finishes dry as the Sahara. Just when you think it’s settled it comes back with a big Kentucky hug. I wanted to like this more than I did. Too unbalanced and too alcohol forward even for a barrel proof. Not worthy of a rebuy.
