While I agree with the comment about this whisky being light, rather than disappointing I find it a nice change. It nice to sip a whisky without the heat (which I like). My wife doesn’t like whisky in pretty much any way but she did taste this and said it wasn’t horrible and she immediately picked up banana on the smell and taste. I noticed the last taste lingered and after about 10 minutes I got just the slightest aftertaste of licorice!
