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
"Rhine Hall's Oak Aged Apple Brandy gives their unaged brandy the barrel ageing treatment, putting it into a mix of toasted and charred new oak barrels. This leaves plenty of space for apple notes to come through on the aroma and taste, while layering on notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and wood tannin. It would make a seasonally appropriate winter drink, and the American oak influence makes it an easy crossover for bourbon fans."
