Notes of apple and fruit juice on the nose . Palate is sweet and also contains the fruity sweetness of apple cider and vanilla extract. Nice pour , but something i need to be in the right mood for . Some evenings its a wonderful pour and orher nights i feel the sweetness is just to distracting when i am searching for a more traditional oak richness . But for the price you cant go wrong by having this bottle in your bar for when you are looking these flavors whether its nighly or just a few times a year.
