I love most spirits, big bourbon, rum, tequila, mezcal, Armagnac/brandy/calvados guy.... even gin. Only stuff I don’t like is vodka... because vodka. If you came to this party to find some whiskey or bourbon’esque creation, move on. If you appreciate spirits because of their complexities and differences, you’ll be in good company with this spirit. Nose packs apple pie, cherry, caramel, brown sugar and vanilla. Very pleasant and very low burn for the proof. I don’t get any of the spice or menthol the official review said. Instead, it’s replaced by wave after wave of sweet, warm, and campy flavors. Vanilla and butterscotch follow a cherry apple bomb that fades into a brown/Demerara sugar flavors. Finish is thick and luscious, lots of mouthfeel and again a feeling of warmth without burn. This is potentially the best sweeter / dessert style corn alcohol product ever made.
