Surprisingly rich in color—reminiscent of Oloroso sherry, deep and vibrant. On the nose, the first note that carries through is cinnamon, followed by a crisp apple aroma. It holds beautifully to the glass, showing good structure.
The palate opens with warm cinnamon, honey, and a pleasant spice. A subtle hint of apple tucks in the background.
Mouthfeel is warm but smooth—remarkably easygoing for 118 proof.
The finish lingers with a cozy, candied apple and cinnamon warmth, like a spiced dessert fresh from the oven.
