Light. Lively. Delicious. Drinks like a high-quality cognac with the slightest breeze of apple. Almost more like applewood was used in the process or it was passed through apple rather than being distilled from apple. Also notes of walnut skin, peach, smoke, oak and char. Very flavorful with a pleasant burn at the end that I appreciate.
