Honestly, I was psyched to try it but after a couple tastes I dumped the bottle. Don’t understand how Leopold’s can make *fantastic* if hit or miss cordials (Maraschino, I’m looking at you... 5 stars instantly) and the whiskeys (flavored or American/Maryland Rye) be so polarizing. I only say that because of the ratings. I haven’t personally met a fan, but I also like bold risk takers. So cheers for the effort.

Used exclusively for hot toddys, this stuff is great! Not a huge fan of flavored whiskey in general but Todd really knows how to bring out the natural apple flavor! Nothing artificial here.
Caramel, nutmeg, & apple pie. Raisin & dried fruit on the finish. Best as a mixer or digestif. In a market full of flavored whiskies, Leopold Brothers does it right.
A very nice blend of flavors. the apple is not too overpowering, the cartels come through...best of the Leopold Brothers Fruited Whiskeys
Batch 1479. Heavy molasses, vanilla and dark brown sugar. Pleasant on the nose but too sweet for me, like pancake syrup.
Oxidized fruit, rich apple, very similar to pommeau, sweet finish but less so than a liqueur, vanilla and wood aftertaste
