The nose is so clearly green bananas it’s humorous. Followed by a sweet vanilla pipe tobacco smoke. The palate initially is light, with praline, vanilla and a nuttiness along with some of that banana coming thru. Reminiscent to a bananas foster. I agree that the oakiness is a bit harsh and feels rushed due to the second aging process, making me crave a smoother finish. All around a good bourbon to be sip’t neat or in an old fashion (done right)
