Chris House 2.0

Nose is very sweet. Caramel and butterscotch. Taste is much less intense. The flavor sort of disappears. Smooth, but somewhat uninteresting.

ponderthis 4.0

Smooth! Easy drinking neat or on the rocks. I get caramel, with some apple.

RustyBrost 4.0

Didn't get the floral from it, but very smooth.

ChaseO 3.0

Cloyingly sweet, too smooth, no dimension.

Dan Glick 3.0

Smooth, sweet. Simple but enjoyable.
