Nose... Wheat, wheat, and more wheat. Haven't had the slightest sip, but wow. Following is butterscotch, dried apples, raisins and vanilla. Appearance... Faint for sure. Dark gold to light amber... Taste... Abundant wheat, followed by apricot, faint grass, butterscotch, nuts, and finally vanilla to complete the sundae.. Overall... This is one heck of a sipper that's for sure. I was about to pick up this 1.75L for $23.00 and I cannot be more pleased about the value. Easy drinking, simply smooth and if tested or tasted blindly against other more expensive wheaters, I wouldn't be surprised if this sipper took home gold.
