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.

Rocky Gutierrez 4.5

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.

Brendon Mccarty 4.3

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.

Kim Hewitt 3.8

Apple, and more apple. It has a rich oak character. It's quite good, but I find the apple flavor too dominant.

Lainey Carmona 4.0

This bottle is fantastic! You get sweet caramel apple followed by smooth spice.

Willis Koenig 1.5

Thinner than expected and not to my preference.
