Nose - banana, pineapple, peach, orange, coconut, vanilla, sweet caramel, raisin, maple syrup, light smoke, moderate ethanol burn.
Taste - orange, banana, pineapple, apple juice, coconut, vanilla cream, raisin, sour grape, moderate alcohol bite, finishing quickly with sour fruit and young alcohol flavors.
It’s not great, but reasonably drinkable. It’s obviously a young expression, based on the presence of the alcohol. I find the flavor profile to be similar to Monkey Shoulder, but I prefer it to this.

@phoibe_distiller I was able to find an airplane bottle of it for the review. I recommend looking for one of those before dropping $40 on a full size bottle.
Good to know--I'm a fan of Monkey Shoulder so I might give this a try at least to compare.
