Before I read the expert tasting notes, I described this to a friend as reminding me if a gresh apple crisp with oatmeal in the crust, with extra caramel drizzle. The palate is a nice balance of sweet, a hint of apple cinnamon oatmeal throughout and a learher note that appears on the finish that is added to the party. Not a chore to drink neat in any way, although the flavor it packs will make you want to sip it slow to enjoy it longer. Big fan of this bottle.
