Comments:

Batch 54, bottle #4852. Nutty, something chemical in the nose that fades in the mouth. Lovely notes of sea coconut, something which I haven't tasted in all too long. Not too bananary, this bourbon, quite complex with lots of interesting flavours, especially with water. Huge hits of brown paper wrapping the whole thing up.

Verdict:

I like this.
