I concur with Howard’s note — choice of rye is crucial here. Peerless single barrel rye made this a bit too sweet.

Leaning into the Caribbean theme by adding 10ml allspice dram balanced the drink nicely.

It shows great promise. I think the rye is crucial. Wild Turkey 101 is a bit rough. Will try with Pikesville 110 and report back.
