2 years Apple Brandy Spirits of French Lick French Lick, IN
Nose

Baked or stewed red apple, apple pie and apple cobbler characteristics, graham cracker and cinnamon, bright fresh red apple, ripe apple, fermented apple notes

Palate

Caramel and baking spice similar to bourbon, bright red apple flavor, creamy texture with oak integration, complex with the Kentucky hug but in brandy form

Finish

Nutty characteristics (hazelnut), oak-driven finish, toasted notes, lingering apple with oxidative character from Brettanomyces fermentation, red wine barrel influence

Recommended
A robust frontier-style apple brandy that successfully bridges bourbon drinkers to the traditional Hoosier spirit style with bright apple aromatics anchored by familiar oak and baking spice.
