Copper & Kings Floodwall Apple Brandy

Yup mostly apple

Sweetened dry fruit nose. Good heat. Sangria notes. A heavy plastic note that I believe comes from the apples.

Rich, sweet, fruity, spicy and oaky

Super hot to start but mellows to make way to a long lingering of apple juice

Smells like burnt apple cider, or apples that have been baked until charred before being juiced. Golden raisins and licorice follow in the nose. Flavorwise, there's complexity here, but there's a note I don't like. Almost like it's just too charred. Too much burnt oak? Drinks more like medicinal whiskey - with a whisper of apple brandy in the back of your throat if you really look for it. The wood dominates the flavor, with a somewhat bitter unpleasant herbal quality. It's a touch hot, but it's not the heat that bothers me. My problem is with what this is missing: a bright note, or more sweetness or richness. Anything to round out oak and char.

I found this Brandy not smooth almost harsh to drink.
