State & Abel

Well over a year after my first taste, can’t believe I’m still the only taster. Brandy has a marketing problem. I wish more people were drinking it. This is well done, but a drip of water and it pops almost sickeningly sweet. Nose is sweet, maple caramel apple. At first sip we have red grape followed by tannin tug of war with hard candy. Oak is woven in.

Not sure why I can’t find anything about this on Distiller or online. Will review further with my next taste...
