on the first sip I can taste the sweetness of the drink, notes of vanilla, warm bread, and somewhere in there are floral notes. I purchased this while it was on sale, saw that it was labeled as being a small batch, and so I took a chance... not my favorite, and probably not on my shelf again. Not bad, just didn't do it for me. ** 2 years ago this was my the first wheated bourbon I'd ever had. I will revist this again, as I've tasted some good wheated bourbon. **
