Slightly sweet with honey and vanilla notes. It has a bourbon feel with the spice notes mixed in with sweetness from the vanilla and honey. Im also getting a subtle vanilla/cocoa wafer cookie sweetness to it on the nose as well which is interesting when you take the time to go back and smell a couple of times. The more I go back for another sip, I notice it gets sweeter as you go on the tongue and then a short burn on the end.
