85 / 100
The sweet notes of honey and brown sugar sit alongside rye spice and toasted oak, giving this bourbon a nicely balanced character. The dried almonds and dry, woodsy notes add a firmer edge, so it is not all sweetness. The source describes a smooth finish, which suits the approachable side of the style. This feels like a good fit for someone who enjoys sweetness with a little spice and oak.
