Spirits Reviews
Laird’s Applejack86 Apple Brandy
Brilliant, bronze to amber color. The nose is filled with the scents of baked apples with accents of sweet, charred oak, caramel, vanilla fudge, and hints of five-spice. The palate confirms the nose delivering a rich yet sprite, apple-driven core with supporting notes of brown baking spices, sweet caramel, oak, and cinnamon. Full-bodied with sweet fruit supported by a generous dose of spice and caramel balanced with bright acidity. This is an American classic and it’s as good as ever. $24.99 – 4 Stars

Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of red cherry and black plum with supporting notes of blackberry, mulberry, and slate. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of cassis, black tea, oak, and hints of five spice. The finish is long and lingering with soft, silky tannins. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with an opulent texture. $15 – 4 Stars/91 points
