The clearest contrast is between the sweet caramel, vanilla and dried-fruit notes and the drier edge of spice and burnt coffee. That gives this blended whisky more to follow than sweetness alone, while the reported smooth, lingering finish sounds measured rather than forceful. The mix of familiar sweet notes with a little spice is appealing to me, though the coffee and drier finish may make it less purely soft than the opening suggests.

The finish is described as lingering, with sweet and spicy notes; other descriptions lean warmer and drier, with white pepper and cinnamon. That gives this blend a clear contrast rather than a purely sweet close. Caramel, oak, and vanilla on the nose sound approachable, while the finish seems to carry more edge.
