Not much on the nose, just a slight scent of maple syrup. On the palate this one is sweet and very smooth. Maple syrup, Toasted oats, and a slight taste of Andes mint chocolate. The oak here is very subtle. Not much complexity, and no real spice or heat. The finish is short and sweet. This bottle isn't quite as sweet and doesn't have the floral oak profile that Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel does. This is a very nice, easy drinking bourbon, though I wish it had a little more spice.
