Bubbles KCMO store pick.
Strawberry blonde color and a little thin in the glass.
Nosing reveals prominent vanilla frosting with a hint of cherry, morphing into the bananas, rum, and brown sugar of bananas foster. A touch of fresh cane, mint and vegetation. The nose is enlivening and a definite winner.
Creamy mouthfeel. The viscosity draws saliva. Again, vanilla dominates while oak and gentle astringency show around the periphery of the mouth. Definitely sweet, showing some brown sugar and butterscotch. The finish lingers impressively for 90 proof with both sweetness and a drying sensation.
The SiB is a bit overpriced typically in the $45 range (store pick or otherwise) but this was a steal at $30. I will continue to enjoy this bottle. A great and affordable representation of OF considering their whisky row series is a tad overpriced, although I’ll cave every time for some 1920.
