- Excerpt: The finish is long-lasting with spices that fade away gradually while sweeter notes drop off more quickly and a hint of roasted vanilla pods comes out as other notes fade.

Intro:
This is a special, from the distillery, sample of Jack Daniels bourbon at 53.5% ABV used for the Angels Share tour. A real fun experiment, so lets see how it is. I do not have cask information regarding which barrel this came from.
-
Nose:
Powerful honey, honey roasted peanuts, bananas foster and an unprecedented vanilla bean note. Delicious bready and sweet, with some savory character as well.
-
Taste:
Honey, apples, bananas, raspberry. Vanilla bean, toffee, caramel and butterscotch. Reminiscent of old ND spirit and bananas in a blender. Weird, but great mouth feel with great oak structure,.
-
Finish:
Medium, rich and loaded with banana. A bit more one noated here with peanut and banana dominating.
-
Overall:
I really like this, but I can see that this is likely polarizing. The peanuts are wild, and the banana is at a crazy level I've not had in their spirit before. I love this, but agree this likely won't appeal to everyone. Great, though.
