The nose has promise, Carmel apple, nice spice and oak. Smells sweet and you can almost sense some age. The palette is not as pleasing as the nose, but is still good. It’s a bit hot, but the apple and oak comes out. It finishes really sweet and lingers longer than other reviews suggest. It’s a what I classify as a thinker. It’s got some depth to it, and you pick up the glass for more. I will say I was very excited for this bottle, and hunted it for a while. Idk if it was because I was so excited to try it or what, but it did not live up to the hype I built up for myself. I still really like it, just not what I expected. I get the limited release pricing, but probably more of an 80 dollar bottle
