Uncorking- this was a favorite before I really got into whiskey. Going back in I was surprised I still liked it. Huge banana on the nose. Brown sugar. Some vanilla especially on the back of the mouth. Opening and letting air hit the palate opens up string vanilla bean. Light spice. Lots of sweet with mellow and little burn. Finishes medium length with vanilla and banana cream. Oak is barely there along with hints of the char. It's not complex or requiring study to find any nuance, there isn't much. It's just a good basic bourbon and easy sipper.
