I'll throw in another vote for keepsake, in the upper midwest. though ours are not exactly the best looking apples we grow, they are one of the tastiest. seems that popularity is lower just for the simple fact that they are later season, at least in this neck of the woods. We'll sell them here at out first winter farmers market and they always do well (after sampling, of course).

we picked ours about a month ago and now they are really quite amazing. In the past when I used to buy apples, I'd keep keepsake in the root cellar for 3-4 months and they'd start to get shrivelly skins but the texture would remain crisp. I'm not sure quite how long they would last under controlled conditions.

We signed up for an organic fruit CSA in zone 5, NY, and of the many apple
varieties, only Keepsake and Goldrush weren't riddled with wormholes.
Keepsake was wonderfully sweet and crisp, with an intense tropical aroma.
It's inexplicable to me that it's not more popular. I prefer it to Honeycrisp.

A comment below one of those articles mentions this nursery, which has a lot
of interesting varieties:

I want to try one of these supposedly extremely aromatic Muscat de Venus
apples.
