Comments: 

Wow. This is very young, probably under 3 years, but in the states you can still call it whisky (whatever...). But what it tastes like is really quite delicious. I don't think it needs water at all, it's not too sweet, plenty of tannins, and great heaps of cooked banana. A few more years (quite a few more), and it could become a stunning whisky.

Verdict:

I like this.
