Nose is light and sweet, with a similar maple sweetness as the gentleman jack but with addition of some dark fruit notes. There’s a feint amount of raw corn as well. The palate is a lot less sweet than I expected, with rye spice dominating most of the drink. There’s some strong notes of banana and mint and the finish is quite dry. The spice lingers for a bit but the flavor does not. Overall I think I prefer the gentlemen jack, especially at the price point but I’m glad I got to try this.
