On the nose, strong caramel apple note. Warm, spicy. The apple shines through, and though the expert states “red apple,” i believe it to be more of a green apple and a bit of alcohol. On the tongue. Warm and the green apple steals the show, mellows a bit to an oily sweet middle to a spicy, little musty and almost musty finish. A bit of that proof comes in at the end but the apple note stays all the way through. Almost a butterscotch sweetness as well before the heat. Apple is really prevalent, but its delicious and hot. The fruit note of it lightens it up quite a bit but it definitely has that leathery old bourbon flavor. Very noce and a bit complex, a nice pour!
