The taste is sweet: a bite of candy from an iron box. The sweetness continues and spreads into the fresh apples, then into the apple jam. Added a little water. The whiskey doesn't burn in your mouth at all. There is no aggression, on the contrary, you can feel the fruit compote soft and pleasant. I don't even want to swallow it, it's such a beautiful drink.
The aftertaste is bright and sweet. There is some absinthe bitterness, but then it regresses to sweetness. With water the aftertaste becomes even sweeter. Fantastic!
