Laird's Jersey Lightning Apple Brandy (75cl, 50%)

Laird's Jersey Lightning Apple Brandy is an unaged, clear apple brandy bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) in a 750ml bottle. The name revives the colonial-era nickname for New Jersey applejack. It is distilled from apples and bottled without oak contact, showing orchard-fresh apple character rather than barrel-derived vanilla and spice. It carries a 95-point Wine Enthusiast rating. The nose shows cooked apples, figs and peaches. The palate is bright and intense at 100 proof, with concentrated apple fruit and a touch of apple skin tannin, and the finish is clean and warming with no oak.
