Ok, so the color and the bottle drew me in. Settled down this evening to try it out. Trying this like always, neat. Aroma is sweet, slight oak scent. On first sip, initially very smooth. Oak comes out, other flavors suttle. Hits the back of the tounge warm and hot going down. After taste not so pleasant. Ill try on the rocks and/or with a little water to see if that helps. Not on my repurchase list.
