I purchased this on a lark from a LLS that had it on close-out pricing at $10 for the bottle. I took a flier and this time that chance was a complete win! Both on the palate and on the nose all I can say is WOW! Peaches and more peaches. Sweet. Very, very rich. Very deep and full flavor. A truly excellent flavored brandy. This is excellent neat and is quite enjoyable after a meal on a big piece of ice. The killer app is to add about 1/2 ounce to an Old Fashioned made with a cask strength bourbon in place of the simple syrup. Holy smoke! I'm very glad I took a chance on this and I'll have no problems ponying up the $30 per bottle for the apricot and maybe one or two others. Recommended if you need a really well made flavor modifier for your cocktail needs.
