Reviewed
September 3, 2023 (edited December 15, 2023)
Nose - Fresh cut apples, fresh hay, golden raisins, hint of caramel, apple cream/custard
Taste - Fresh cut apples, gentle barley-wine, fresh hay, golden raisins, creamy apple compote on top of scalded cream/milk
Finish - Fresh apples, like tasting an apple orchard
Score - 88/100
Final Thoughts - Very tasty, nicely balanced, but very forgettable. Well done ex-bourbon cask Scotch, but doesn't really feel like this is anything super special other than it just felt really well balanced. Nothing really stood out, apples dominated the flavor profile, hints of sweet barley in the background.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Maybe
Would I buy a bottle? - No
