Nose: Green apples with light cinnamon and sugar just before going into a homemade pie. Palate: more strong apple flavor, very light smoke, sort of a subtle oaky nuttiness Finish: short and sweet. Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for in a daily sipper. I like this neat. To be honest, I haven't tried it with ice yet but I don't want to change a thing about this. Feels right for fall. :)
