Tasting Notes
"The aroma has a light smoked character to it along with waxy apples and a savory spiciness. The brandy is soft, but bitter with the wood taking over the fruit initially. The brandy finishes with a woody and smoked apple quality. Overall, the brandy seems a bit out of balance with the alcohol, but does show some character."
