Nose: Fresh apple orchard, with hints of baked cinnamon and nutmeg. A whiff of oak and vanilla from the barrel aging. Light caramel and toasted almond notes emerge as it opens up.
Palate: Rich, full-bodied apple flavor upfront. Not sweet, but concentrated and intense. Oak spice and warm vanilla balance the fruit. Touches of leather and tobacco add complexity. The high proof brings a pleasant warmth without overwhelming heat.
Finish: Long and dry. The apple flavor lingers, transforming into baked apple pie. Cinnamon and nutmeg spices resurface. A slight tannic grip from the oak, with a faint nuttiness on the tail end. The warmth from the alcohol persists, leaving a satisfying glow.
Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond is crafted from a blend of apple varieties, distilled in copper pot stills, and aged for at least four years in charred oak barrels.
