There is no doubt that it showcases the bourbon aroma but little else. It has a promising vanilla nose that on the palate quickly diffuses away to leave hints of chewing gum, ending on an ever so weak note of bitter chocolate and perhaps indeed a bit of liquorish if you had swirled it around in your mouth for long enough. No my style but not offensive either.
