87 / 100
I like the contrast between the cut fruit and mixed peel on the nose and the sweeter, creamy palate. Vanilla and butterscotch give it a comforting centre, while the dry spice and oak keep the finish from feeling too soft. It sounds like a well-balanced Kentucky Bourbon, with enough savoury nuttiness and spice to make the sweetness more interesting rather than simply piling on.
