87 / 100
The sweet malt and vanilla give this single malt a clear, rounded centre, while citrus and oak keep it from reading as one-note sweetness. I like that balance: the ex-bourbon cask character is expressed through vanilla and American oak, with the finish bringing citrus back alongside lingering oak and a clean, warming persistence. It sounds composed rather than heavily sweet, with the oak providing a steady counterpoint.
