Made this with Woodford Reserve + Mr Black. Got the bourbon but not particularly strongly. Got the ginger but not too much that it dominates. Got a nice bit of tartness from the lime+pineapple+CO2. Didn't get much of a taste of the pineapple but it adds a nice foaminess/tartness and I'm not sure an overt taste would have fit particularly well. It's a nicely balanced drink. I'd put this at a 6-7 on the gentle-boozy scale, and 6-7 on the sweet-sour scale.

I added some chocolate bitters to mine. Delicious
