Laird's Applejack Brandy is a Brandy from the Laird & Company Apple Brandy Collection brand hailing from America.

What is Laird's Applejack Brandy?

Laird's Applejack Brandy is a unique American spirit that blends apple brandy with neutral grain spirits, creating a smooth, versatile drink that's perfect for cocktails or sipping neat. Interestingly, George Washington once asked the Laird family for their recipe, making it the oldest licensed distillery in the United States with roots tracing back to 1698.

Why do we love Laird's Applejack Brandy?

Laird's Applejack Brandy stands out as America's oldest native spirit, with a rich history dating back to 1698 when the Laird family began distilling in New Jersey. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane byproducts, Laird's Applejack is crafted from apples, offering a distinctly fruity and crisp flavor profile that adds a unique twist to classic cocktails like the Jack Rose or Old Fashioned.

How do you drink Laird's Applejack Brandy?

Laird's Applejack Brandy shines in classic cocktails that call for whiskey or brandy, offering a unique apple twist to familiar recipes. It's equally delightful sipped neat or on the rocks during crisp autumn evenings, pairing wonderfully with hearty dishes like roasted pork or sharp cheddar cheese.

Nose: Crisp apple aroma with hints of oak and vanilla. Light caramel notes and a touch of cinnamon spice. Subtle alcohol warmth.

Palate: Smooth entry with a blend of fresh and baked apple flavors. Caramel and brown sugar sweetness balanced by oak tannins. Mild nuttiness reminiscent of almonds. Warming bourbon-like qualities with a touch of rye spice.

Finish: Medium length with lingering apple and oak. Slight dryness and warmth. Faint notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Clean, crisp aftertaste with a subtle sweetness.

Laird's Applejack Brandy is crafted by blending apple brandy with neutral grain spirits, resulting in a smooth, apple-forward spirit. The apple brandy component is distilled from fermented apple cider, preserving the essence of fresh apples, while the addition of neutral spirits creates a more approachable flavor profile and lower price point compared to straight apple brandy.

      Lovely mixer

      I got this to make a cocktail from tasting history and it's a very lovely spirit both just on its own or in cocktails.
