Okay, don't hate me, but I love this whiskey. Just not at this price. How bad must 23-year-old whiskey be to be flavored with apple? It will transport you to Halloween with caramel apple suckers. This is so much better than regular Crown Apple. Just not $250 better.

This was an exceptional whisky. The flavor matched expectations perfectly. From beginning to end, it was incredibly smooth. I wouldn't say it's worth close to $300 in some places. At minimum, I'd describe it as outstanding.
Remarkably smooth. It offers expected notes of caramel, apple, and cinnamon, along with a smooth, short, and only moderately spicy finish. I quite like it, though it's likely not worth the premium price.
Apple, and more apple. It has a rich oak character. It's quite good, but I find the apple flavor too dominant.
This bottle is fantastic! You get sweet caramel apple followed by smooth spice.
Thinner than expected and not to my preference.
