Laird's Applejack Straight Brandy 750mL

Laird’s Straight Applejack 86 represents the return to the Laird family’s historic roots. Prior to and post Prohibition, our American Applejack was a straight apple brandy produced at the proof of 86. Seventeen pounds of fresh tree-ripened apples are needed to produce each single bottle. While perfect consumed neat or over ice, it truly shines when used in place of whiskey in traditional cocktails like the Manhattan and Old Fashioned. The warm, full flavors with overtones of baked apples, caramel and wood from this aged apple brandy give an extra dimension of complexity and body to cocktails. You owe it to yourself to rediscover Laird’s Straight Applejack 86, favored by the founders of our country, and every generation thereafter.

Tasting Notes:

Color is clear, honey, brown. Aroma of cooked, ripe apples and charred bourbon-like oak. Warm, full and complex in the mouth, with overtones of baked apples, caramel, wood and a pleasant level of alcohol. The finish is lingering and pleasing. 

Serving Suggestions:

Neat, over ice, Jack Rose cocktail, Manhattan, Old Fashioned. Applejack 86 can be used as an ingredient in soups, stews and meat dishes along with cakes and other baked items.
