Actually bought this on clearance at Walmart at $20 on a whim. I normally stick to bourbon and rye, but this was a WTH pickup. So glad I did. The nose is a very pleasant apple note with faint sweet tea. Something you would expect maybe expect off of a brandy. The taste follows the nose where that apple note follows through with a shortish finish with just a touch of spice. This is definitely a buy another bottle at $50 when this runs out. Easy to sip and one to introduce to fellow bourbon drinkers as a change of pace
