Amber with light golden fringes. The nose is bold and sweet. It is reminiscent of stewed apples with a bit of clove and cinnamon spice and a touch of saltiness. Bold on the palate with aggressive alcohol heat and rich oak. The apple flavor is present but there are strong notes of caramel and the finish is a bit harsh. There is a nice maritime influence throughout the palate. Overall a good value for apple brandy.
