Laird's Apple Brandy Single Cask Selection

Apple and light caramel aromas. Stronger than expected apple notes with such a high proof.

The best and only I know

Virginia ABC cask selection, aged 5 years/63.75% Nose: apple pie, pears, honey, cinnamon Palate: jolly rancher apple, caramel corn Finish: zesty, sour Wow…liquid candy in a glass, a bit sweet but still tasty.

Nose after 5-10 min rest: Apples are the dominant nose, red ripe apple, caramel, spice- nutmeg, oaky vanilla, banana, floral notes, pepper, honey, almond nuttiness Taste: wow- intense blast of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg spices, apple, alcohol heat, then heavy caramel, oakiness, apples again, some nuttiness and a moderately long decay with apple, spices, vanilla, almonds, and medium caramel. A few drops of water turn down the burn and open up more higher fruit notes and caramel.

It's like drinking an apple pie. Apples, and apples, and apples. Some phenolic tones, a little spice, but then more and more apples.

Apple and clove on the nose. The taste is hot (hello 124+ proof) with more apples & more spices, but the spices turn to cinnamon. It's very warming on the finish. I enjoy it.
