LCI. Apple Brandy can be an odd one, but blending beautifully here. Smooth, rich thick with some fruity esters balancing the chocolate and oakiness

Beautiful, thanks Alex ! Needed to warm up a bit, but rich barrel notes, soft whiskey notes, lots of raisin and date. Dangerous start to a share. 16.9% is totally hidden. Mouthcoating
