-On the nose: Some banana right away then marshmallow with grain cereal notes coming through like smelling a bowl of lucky charms and vanilla ice cream followed with a delightful cigar/tobacco scent and it all comes together nicely. Letting it breath will help get past the proof of this if you’re keen on getting to the scent profiles. -Palette and Finish: black pepper and baking spices up front with the proof getting right in your face, but it’s welcomed. Banana and grains from the nose come in and the finish burns through with the spices and tobacco. The proof is hot and wonderful. You feel every bit of the 125 proof with this. If it’s too much, add a bit of ice or water to soften it up, but don’t let the proof keep you from trying this. I would say it’s not a “must own”, but is a “must try”.
