78 / 100
The easy-to-follow contrast is what stands out: vanilla and caramel bring a familiar Bourbon-like sweetness, while the alcoholic notes keep the character more direct. Subtle raisins and hints of liquorice add a little variation on the palate, though the relatively short finish leaves less room for those details to linger. It sounds like an appealing, straightforward direction for someone who enjoys sweet, wood-led notes without needing a long finish.
