84 / 100
The contrast is what makes this bourbon appealing: syrupy corn and warming spice meet a dry, woody finish. Cinnamon and ginger give the palate a clear center, while dried red fruit adds a softer note at the end. It is a grounded, warmly inviting character. The emphasis is firmly on corn, spice and oak rather than coastal detail, but the balance of sweetness and dryness still holds my interest.
