Nose - Orchard fruits, honey, raisins, baked apples, poached pears
Taste - Orchard fruits, candied oranges, bright red berries, raisins, honey, light bitter apple stem/seeds, ripe nectarines
Finish - Charred sugar glaze, orchard fruits, poached pears
Score - 88/100
Final Thoughts - So this one is actually quite enjoyable and where the typical bitter apple core/stem/seed notes aren't as distracting, but maybe that's due to the extra age on this one. This one isn't amazing, but it's quite well balanced and feels like a very nice summery pour. Relatively low proof at 43% but the flavor profile packs way above 43% and feels more like 48-50%. Very pleasant drinker and good flavors all around, nothing too overly complex.
