Woah - the nose is oaky with loaaads of chilled maple syrup. Not too sweet, some sark rich toast in there. The pallete is verrrry decadent. Tons! Of sweet rich maple sweetness up front followed with the heat of the bourbon youd expect. Follows with traditional baking spices and woodiness but also with a nice toasted chocolate. Very very nice pour, not too hot, but i do wish it was a little on the heavier side to compliment the maple profile a bit.
