I definitely get peanuts and fruit from this. I agree that it's a tropical fruit, but I can only say that generically- maybe a little bit pineapple or mango... maybe even coconut? It's subtle and blended- it's like a generic tropical flavor, though not artificial. This is easily drinkable. My only real complaint is that I wish the whole thing was bottled at higher proof, Bottled in Bond would make this a perfect daily drink in my opinion. Pretty pleasant and reasonably complex for the price. It's also accessible- I feel like I could introduce someone to bourbon with this.
