The discussion about the best banana liqueur should begin and end with this bottle. In my view, the complexity and richness of this creme de banane are unparalleled. The aroma shifts from caramel and vanilla to ripe banana. However, the palate is where this truly excels, with notes of French toast, cinnamon, a hint of sweetness, banana peel, and an overall silky texture. The finish has no burn whatsoever and is reminiscent of bananas foster. The only factor that might deter someone from purchasing this creme de banane is the price. It is not an inexpensive bottle, but in my opinion, it is absolutely worth it. If you simply want a banana liqueur to add to a jungle punch-type drink, then opt for 99 Bananas, but if you desire to elevate a stirred cocktail that calls for banana liqueur or even want an amazing dessert liqueur, then this is the bottle you should choose.

Well, this was hard to find, but worth the search! Wow. The most intense banana flavor, yet so pure and natural, it's like drinking the pureed pulp of a very ripe fresh banana. This is it... the perfect, intense, and very rich banana foster experience in a glass. Pure, clean, and a beautiful representation of banana.
The aroma is reminiscent of banana bread. It possesses a velvety, syrupy mouthfeel. The 20% abv is barely noticeable. A distinct caramel note leads into roasted, caramelized bananas. Highly pleasing and expertly crafted.
Reminds me of dried banana slices, with a richer, more caramel-like taste instead of the candy banana flavor.
