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
"The apple aromas in Osocalis Apple Brandy are a nice mix of high and low notes and aren't static-- there's complexity and liveliness there. Walnuts, brown butter, and a sweet smoky quality are intertwined with the apple scents which are a mix of sweet and tart. On the palate, the brandy is soft and soothing. Brown sugar and vanilla come in to focus with wood spices helping to bring a close to the finish."
