Ice: Fine ice

Nose
Mint and apple-brandy notes lead the aroma.
Palate
This is a good reminder that the julep family remained open to regional apple-spirit service rather than collapsing into a single whiskey standard.
Finish
The finish is cool, fruity, and mint-flecked.
Summary
An apple-brandy branch of the late decorated julep line.
