Nose - Lightly spiced malt, freshly cut fruity wood, hints of a spiced apple juice that was made with pressed peels and cores.
Taste - Lightly spiced malt on the tongue, white pepper heat, lightly bitter apple juice that was made w/ stems/peels/seeds, lightly drying yet creamy mouthfeel, tiny hint of vanilla.
Finish - Lingering white pepper spice but quickly fades, lightly oaked apple juice sweetness lingers, whisp of vanilla.
Score - 74/100
Final Thoughts - It's a very inoffensive blend. Leads me to believe that it's been aged in primarily former bourbon barrels or at the very least non sherry/port. Not really any offensive characteristics other than the lightly bitter apple juice vibe I get from this. It's kind of boring but inoffensive. Factoring in the price, it'd be an easy pass for me seeing as I can get Monkey Shoulder for a fraction of the price for pretty much the same thing if not better.
