Would I buy a bottle? Yes, at the price I paid
Thoughts: This is pretty straightforward. Lots of cherry and grape. Definitely not hiding that is an infused fruit brandy. Not super complex and the finish was pretty short. For $15 though, it’s plenty serviceable and fun to play around and use in cocktails. My wife drank most of the bottle from brandy old fashioneds I made for her.
