On the nose, cinnamon , maple, vanilla and oak. Seems heavy in the cinnamon at first then the other notes start to hit. Super smooth and easy drink, mine was a 124 proof. For being that high of proof I expected a harsh palate. The cinnamon comes strong at first but not overwhelming. Then comes the vanilla, maple, and hints of oak and spice. I was pretty happy with this, I’ve always liked Elijah Craig especially their SiB. If I find another, I will grab it.
