Nose: Butterscotch, spun sugar, vanilla, light and heathery, honey, yellow apple.
Palate: Bursts in a hot cloud, starting buttery and fading with creaminess to…
Finish: Yellow toffee apple, honey, syrup and vanilla.
Overall: All friendly sugary fruity notes. It’s like a buttery apple pie in a glass, and while I did appreciate it, there is not a whole lot of intrigue here.
Rank: 4
