Review after 2 weeks of opening Complex in the nose once you get past the shoe leather and oak. A drop of water brings out the sweetness. Vanilla, Werther's Originals, cinnamon, mint, pipe tobacco, and hints of citrus. Quite potent and interesting nose Palate shows leather, vanilla, French Toast, caramel, sweet cream, mint, orange, and sweet tobacco. Lingers for quite a while with big tannins, but it has enough sweetness to help keep a balance. Super round and full bodied, loved the mouthfeel with minimal burn. Lasting mint and nutella on the finish, very good. Don't give up on this one if at first you don't get much or are disappointed, this one definitely was lacking right out of the gate. Taste it again after a few weeks and see if you're still disappointed. It is an oak bomb, but it shows complexity and balance. You've got to be in the mood for an aged bourbon, but this hits the spot.
