Flavors follow ingredient order. Bourbon is very upfront, followed by Apricot mid-palate and finishes with the pineapple juice.

You're right. It's taste is reminiscent of brandy butter. Yumm! I've reduced volumes in te recipe above to better fit glass but kept proportions the same. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
