Well rounded but also intense and insistent nose that's not particularly woody but rather dry and reminiscent of grain and cereal with hints of pepper and vanilla after breathing for a bit. Neat flavor mostly repeats the nose but feels pretty scratchy but also waxy with hints of dry red wine in the aftertaste. With coke it's an interesting juxtaposition of the bourbon's dryness and cereal against the coke's richness and sweetness.
