I mean... I just twisted off the top of a 50 mL bottle that Santa left in my stocking last December. What kind of expectations would you have going in? Also - this is officially my first taste of any Tennessee Whiskey since I’ve been cognizant of what the word “neat” meant. That’s right. Dear TN, I’m gonna judge your whole state based on the quality of the stuff Ke$ha brushes her teeth with. We’re counting on you Jack. Don’t screw this up.
Nose is yeasty. Mild astringency. I really do get baked sourdough bread here. Body is bananas. Wow. Never had anything that true to that flavor before. Straight bananas all day. Finish rolls off softly, low heat, no changes.
It’s a one-trick pony, but what if you just really liked bananas? This would be your jam. I feel like this deserves a skosh more credit than it gets in the “drinking whiskey neat” market. It’s not dynamic, but it’s cheap as hell, and if you like that banana flavor, this is it.
