very pale golden color. Excellent melange of bourbon, apple skins and tannins. Very dry nose. Very dry, not overly tannic. The bourbon sits at the back of the tongue. Really interesting. Very enjoyable

Sample, thanks to danlo. Hazed yellow appearance. Bourbon dominates the nose, with some woody vanilla. Overall character presents interesting wild bourbon notes, with some dry floral elements, woody oak, vanilla, caramel with some underlying apple fruit. Interesting.

4/2/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours cloudy yellow gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of bourbon, semi-sweet apples, wood, citrus. Light sweetness and medium sour. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Dry, light tart, woody bourbon finish. Not particularly keen on the bourbon in this one.
