Aromas are a combination of sweet and oak, with a slight citrus hint. First sip: full body, almost syrup. The oakiness doesn't express as smoke, more of woodiness. The burn hits much later, paired with a slight lemon and maple. The balance is off, too much of the pucker against the supposed smoothness from the staves, which I didn't detect too much of. Enjoyable, yes, but not what I was hoping for.
