A hint of complex and very pleasing aromas. While a touch of banana was present, dark cherry was the primary fruit. Sweet dark sugar with subtle oak notes. A mild cherry chocolate flavor on tasting. Again, a bit of oak, but well-balanced with the fruit. The finish was acceptable but slightly thin. Sampled at Old Forester alongside 117 extra-extra oak, 2025 Birthday, and President's Choice.
