Pours pale yellow. It smells mainly of honey with a bright floral, citrusy character. The flavor is very sweet. Honey, orange, floral. It’s good though a bit sweeter than I’d like. Abv is buried. Mad Paddle was selling this for the startling price of $3.22 per ounce, which I didn’t notice until I’d poured a few ounces. It’s good but but not $16 for a 5 oz pour good.

Pours very pale yellow with a pleasant ripe apple aroma. Dry? No. I found it quite sweet and even kind of sugary. It’s okay but not impressive.

Bourbon, apple and hay aroma. Golden yellow. Moderately sweet apple juice, bourbon, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Nice.
