Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and inviting nose, immediately showcasing crisp green apple and baked apple notes, intertwined with subtle hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a delicate undercurrent of caramel or brown sugar. A faint wisp of oak and a clean, spirituous lift provide structure without being overpowering.

Palate: The palate delivers on the promise of the nose, opening with a bright, juicy burst of fresh apple, both sweet and tart. This quickly melds into more complex flavors of apple pie spice, a touch of vanilla, and a soft, bready character. The texture is smooth and light-to-medium bodied, with a gentle warmth that belies its 80 proof. There's a subtle underlying fruit brandy character, clean and slightly earthy.

Finish: The finish is medium in length, clean and refreshing. It leaves a lingering impression of baked apple and a whisper of spice, fading gently with a dry, slightly tannic apple skin note. No harshness, just a pleasant, mellow warmth that invites another sip.
