Nose: Ripe bananas and cream, hints of maple and vanilla, ghosts of nutmeg and slightly floral Palate: Toasted oak, cream, maple, turning slightly floral toward the finish Finish: Medium, with palate flavors giving way to slightly smoky barrel notes and a hint of nuttiness and pipe tobacco It is hard to believe this is just 2 years old. This definitely benefits from opening up. I have had this bottle open a few months and it is far more impressive going back to it now.
