Tasting Notes

I found the nose a bit off putting at first, but as it opened up so too did I to it (I know, I'm a linguist). Eventually a sweet, vanilla scent comes through - like a pudding or custard. On the palate, the sweet vanilla carries through alongside ripe banana, a touch of chocolate, and just general sweetness.

It's nice, but all-in-all feels a bit light. Spying on my dear friend's review, I'd tend to agree - a higher proof might do this one a favor.
