Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 7 Year Old, Cask #1030, 2020, 43.3%

The toasted rye bread and peanut butter give this bourbon a savoury side, while orange peel, coconut and vanilla bring a sweeter contrast. The finish keeps some spice and toasted nuts in view. That mix sounds appealing without feeling overloaded.
