Laird's Straight Applejack 86

Laird’s Straight Applejack 86 is a 100% apple brandy made from 17 pounds of fresh, tree-ripened apples per bottle. Aged for a minimum of 3 years in charred oak barrels, this spirit offers a rich and smooth flavor profile with notes of baked apple, caramel, and wood. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a whiskey alternative in classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromas of ripe red apples, baked fruit tarts, oak, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon.

Palate: Smooth entry with rich apple flavor, reminiscent of apple pie filling. Toasted oak and warm baking spices add depth, with a slight sweetness balancing the alcohol warmth.

Finish: Medium to long finish with lingering apple flavor, accompanied by oak tannins and gentle spice. A subtle dryness develops, with faint hints of caramel and nuts on the fade.

How to Serve

Neat: Enjoy to savor the full flavor profile.

On the Rocks: Add a couple of ice cubes to mellow the flavors.

Cocktails: Ideal for mixing into classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
