The fresh orange and citrus peel give this bourbon a welcome lift against its deeper caramel, corn, and dry vanilla notes. I like that the palate keeps some brightness, with citrus alongside charred oak and rye spice rather than letting the sweetness dominate. The crisp, medium-to-long finish carries that balance through with citrus, nutmeg, and dry oak. A clearly detailed, warmly spiced character, with freshness as a useful counterpoint.

The orange and citrus give this bourbon an accessible fruit edge, while caramel and rye spice keep it from reading as simply sweet. Peach adds another clear point of interest.
