American BrandyProduced in the US, this is usually referring to brandy distilled from grape-based wine. If the producer uses other fruit, it must be stated on the label. If aged under two years in oak, it must state the word "immature" on the label. Beyond that, labels such as VS, VSOP, and XO mean little as the brands themselves dictate what that means to them.

Tasting Notes
"Two years of barrel ageing give Clear Creek Apple Brandy a pale straw color. Distinct notes of crisp apple arrive on the nose. Limousin oak contributes a light woodiness with a hint of vanilla and helps round the edges without eclipsing the essence of the fruit. The spirit is light and smooth despite its young age. It's a straightforward, approachable, and enjoyable brandy, ideal for drinking in the fall months or mixing into cocktails."
