Johnnie Millard 3.5 October 2019

The aroma is quite floral, reminiscent of wine, with faint notes of apple. Upon tasting, it's very floral with pronounced toffee and fruit flavors. A slight tannic quality leads to a lasting apple impression.

Owen Michaels 4.0 March 2019

Sweet vanilla, malty character, with medium spice.

How the score is built

3.67 is the plain average of 3 reviews.

The 3.75 score we rank by pulls that average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
