Smells of maple syrup, honey, and bourbon. Ooh...a hint of green apple and caramel! Yes, bourbon, but with a sultry smoked peat that's not overpowering. I like that the bourbon is not THE dominant sense. A little caramel and black pepper at the end with sugar syrup. After a few minutes the empty glass smells like an unlit, chocolate infused cigar. And there's that little green apple... Amazing! Looking at the other tastings I see flavors all over the place, which is interesting, but that means it could have a broad appeal. Rating based on neat sipping.
