This is a wheated bourbon, so the sweetness makes itself known on arrival. Brown sugar developing into vanilla, then hints of butterscotch. The oak doesn't make an appearance until the second sip, and it slowly gains traction from a malt-like mid-palate to a dry finish. Subsequent nosing reflects the initial palate. Adding water rounds out the sweetness, reminding me of vanilla ice cream. This is when I start smacking my lips to accommodate and enjoy the finish. Good work.
