I would rate the score higher if it was a more filled bottle. Had a pour of this at a bar. The bottle was at 10% mark. Had it in a tumbler. I prefer GC but they didn't carry any. Gold label N (4): Initially punched me in the face and I couldn't get anything. After tasting and I resniffed it, got some caramel sweetness with a hint of fresh banana. No need to add water to this one, I just put my nose too deep. P (4.5): Initially with some dark bitter chocolate in the front then got a hit of brown sugar in a oatmeal. On the second sip, it was a bit sweeter than bam....full on banana cream pie. Cream made with full fat cream. Had some nice spice around my tongue as well. F (4.5): Spicy creamy banana with oak finally coming in. Heat was mild. Pretty long lasting. I'm definitely going to pick up this bottle. It different than the other bourbons on my shelf. First time tasting bananas.
