87 / 100
The contrast between baking spice and the sweeter notes gives this bourbon a clear point of interest. On the palate, rye spices, white pepper and ginger sit alongside rich raspberry and salted caramel, so the sweetness has some pushback rather than taking over. The finish continues that balance with black pepper and spicy oak against toasted sugar and plums. It reads as a full, warmly spiced style, with plenty here to suit a preference for spice meeting sweetness.
