88 / 100
Cherry-laced marzipan and peach cobbler suggest a dessert-led opening, with pear ice cream and molasses carrying that sweetness onto the palate. Chantilly cream gives the finish a similarly indulgent note. The PX barrique finish is explicitly stated alongside an ex-bourbon hogshead, but the character described here is more compelling than the cask terminology: this seems geared to plush fruit and confectionery rather than a dry, restrained style. That focus appeals, though it may not suit every preference.
