Ellington Reserve Apple

Nose - green Jolly Rancher, candy apple, corn sweetness, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - candy apple, rich simple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, mild alcohol bite, finishing medium length with syrupy vanilla, candy apple, and prickly cinnamon flavors. I suppose it’s time for me to work through a few of these flavored whiskey samples I should have never purchased. No point in wasting a review, so we’ll keep this short. It’s not good, but it’s obviously not meant to be a sipper. I’m rating it one notch above my lowest, because at least it’s not actively offensive. It’s syrupy sweet with a chemically, candied sour apple essence. Buy this if it’s your jam. It’s not mine.

Meh. Expected Crown Green Apple and it wasn’t that.

Pretty sweet, had to water it down quite a bit. But then it was a pretty tasty sipper
