A gentle sniff on the nose, you get this sugary bourbon notes on top but also at the same time, you get this cloudy, spicy, lignins and tannins from the oak at the bottom ready to make a move to the top any seconds. After you take a sip or two then spicy and lignins from the oak took over what you get initially of bourbon sugary notes. What you left with in the end is a short to medium finish of dry, spicy and a bit bitterness like black tea almost.
