Sort of artificial bourbon sugary smell. Sherry notes and quarter cask notes are in and out in the background, so dry fruit are there but it's not thrre. Because it's 1st fill bourbon so you get all that wood spicy notes straight to your nose as well as on your palate all the way from start to finish. It's like the name of the distiller Wolf"burn". The bitterness also come through because most likely from 1st fill those american oak. If this is using maybe 2nd or 3rd hand of ex bourbon cask might be better for my taste.
