This was more mellow and less spirity than the 74. The oranges are still in there (though not that perfume in the nose), and i found its rounded flavor a bit more palatable than the others. There was also a little more evidence to me of fruit in this one -- which was a first
. plenty of caramel in the flavor. I preferred this one to the 74, and would not prefer the others (77, 75, 53).
very light color, mostly like a caramel color. In the bottle (or sufficient quantity) it showed the same pink tinge as the other royals.

opened 72 hours
this baked apple is a consistent theme
baked red delicious apples with light brown sugar with a hint of a grassy component.
much fuller and rounder body then the 53 and the 74.
sweet lemon citron vodka with a slight cinnamon apples (watery caramel?). a bit simple.
40 second finish of tart apples and slight bitter wood spirits.
89/100
