Nose - brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, syrup Palate - sweet honey and very pleasant, the maple syrup is surprisingly not overbearing, classic bourbon flavors of vanilla, caramel, oak shine through Finish - short to medium length, fair warmth, about expected for a 90 proof bourbon This was a surprisingly good bottle of whiskey. Normally would not go for bourbon infused with anything, but this exceeded all expectations. Hate to admit that I prefer this over the same distillery's regular straight bourbon.
