N: Cinnamon, mineral, apple, alcohol, cardboard. It smells light and mostly blend, but there is a bit of pep from the cinnamon.
P: It's weak. Certainly, this is young. I get spice, apple, banana, mineral, and a bit of alcohol and something that is on the border between wood and cardboard. It isn't complex, rich, or tasty. The apple has a very mineral quality to it. There's a lot of mineral here and some cereal too. It's a bit spicy from the cinnamon, which at least gives it some life. None of the flavors are actively bad aside from the bit of alcohol, but the palate is too light and boring and the minerality really doesn't do it for me. For something ostensibly flavored, there sure isn't much flavor to this.
F: The spice and mineral elements linger the longest, along with some cereal and apple and a whisper of cardboard.
This is bad. It isn't totally undrinkable, but it is unpleasant. Paddleford Creed is better by a substantial margin with its far greater richness. Considering the light flavor, it's hard to even imagine what to mix this in. Considering the lightness, youth, and lack of functionality as a mixer, I think I need to go with an 8. The price they charge for this is unbelievable though.
