Aroma is sweet and soft, pulling in a lot of lighter sweet notes over the regular bourbon giving it a muted sweeter tone as if it’s somehow removed some of the original oak influence; Palate, again, feels a bit muted, like someone threw a blanket thrown over the speaker and I’m getting a flatter delivery across the board; Finish whispers out with the most oak influence, and bubblegum note, in the whole whiskey.

@BDanner Thanks, it's the best analogy I could think of :)
Even though I liked this one more than you did, your analogy of a blanket over a speaker is a good one. Everything here does seem a little muted.
Oof, sounds like that French oak finish did not do this any favors. Gotta be careful with that in bourbon.
