About this brandy

Laird's Applejack 86 is an American apple brandy produced by Laird & Company, distilled from apples and bottled at 43% ABV. It represents the USA's own apple-spirit tradition, built from orchard fruit rather than grapes, and offers a distinct alternative to French Calvados.

Expect a warm, orchard-driven spirit, baked apple, spice and a firm, spirity backbone. Serve at 18–20°C, neat or over ice, and pour after dinner alongside cigars, strong cheese or a simple fruit tart.
