This bottle intrigued me when I spied it on the shelf of my local grocery store. Upon reading the expert review here, I deemed it worth a try... Raisin, dates, vanilla on the nose... some initial burn (it is 115 proof, after all), apples, spice and more vanilla on the palate... and a spicy finish. This is good. It reminds me a little of Old Tub — which I like very much. Will I buy again? Maybe. But not before I try a bunch of others I've got my sights on.
