Image courtesy Michter's Distillery LLC.The 2020 version of this annual release has a very aromatic nose with touches of baking spices, red apples, brown sugar, vanilla, and a hint of molasses. The taste has red apples and a hint of peaches complemented by clove, cinnamon, and a hint of ginger, while brown sugar and molasses add complexity in the background. The finish has lingering spices and a touch of dried fruits. (December, 2020)
