Apple Brandy
Spirits of French Lick
French Lick, IN
Nose
Baked or stewed red apple, fermented apple character, Amish baked apple pie, apple cobbler with graham cracker and cinnamon, bright fresh apple cider notes
Palate
Similar caramel and baking spice notes to bourbon with oak character, but distinguished by bright red apple flavor, fresh apple bite character, creamy mouthfeel comparable to bourbon
Finish
Nutty finish with hazelnut character, oxidative notes from brettanomyces fermentation, lingering apple and oak with a subtle wine influence from the re-charred red wine barrels
Recommended
A robust frontier-style apple brandy that shares bourbon's structure and oak influence while maintaining distinct apple aromatics and a memorable, complex finish.
