I saw vanilla cherry coke mentioned in a review here. The analogue I had was mild cough syrup flavour but I like the other expression better...add a dash of hazelnut (think frangellico) and your compete. It's a smooth drop, good quality but I find it a bit sickly sweet. Not a Dictador Perpetual abomination sweet but sweeter and more cherry like than I like in a bourban. It's a hard one, I don't think its a 3 but it's not really a 4 either. I'd give it a 3.5.
