    To me fresh split white oak smells like vanilla and fresh split red oak smells like corn silage.
    But the end run is they smell like heat!

    Not a whiskey guy but now that I think about it does have a bit of a whiskey smell.

    My personal favorite is Sassafras........kinda root beerish.
