Now we're talking! The nose on this is a beautifully cooked perfect hot apple cheese danish straight from the oven. The palate is even better with french vanilla with an apple turnover filled with nutmeg and cinnamon. Oh man. This finish is kick ass and the apples are lingering and jumping all over the place with spice. It's damn near perfect. Salute Pranay, this one is a killer that's deserving of a majestic, or regal song. I am thinking "In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson. 4.75, almost a 5!

Well, the thing about this bottle is that yeah, it might not have the overall complexity one might expect, but, I did appreciate the final package as a whole on nose/palate/finish experience. I think beautiful three or four note drams are the most difficult to review sometimes. I think it’s only because I adore apple/cinnamon/raisin combo and this was that to the power of googolplex.
I agree with @Generously_Paul. I expected more from a 19 year old
There is a hot buttery finish that's STILL going. Very nice.
Didn't really do it for me, but I can see the appeal. Easy drinking, fruity. Just didn't wow me
This seems to be "I love it" or "meh, not my cup of tea".
