I'm no expert here, you need Brewer to advise you on that one!.
My thoughts are that they are both very dry tasting and maybe you need to add more sugar syrup? (ie dissolve some sugar in a small amount of water and gently heat to a thick syrup), Then add that to the alcohol.
Suggest yoy try it on a small amount incase I am wrong!!!!
Let us know how you get on!!
