I like this one a good bit. The nose initially presents with spice (almost a rye spiciness), ripe red apple, honey, vanilla custard, and pepper. Given a little time, the apple note opens up into ripe cantaloupe. On the palate, a surprisingly mild opening leads to a full, rich middle - there's a bit of fruit salad (apple, melon, maybe even pear and banana), a lift of baking spice and pepper, and vanilla creme - rather custard like at the end. The melon and creamy vanilla linger on the palate. Really a good dram for the price - less than $40 US!
