Product Description
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.

FAQs
Fruit brandy is a delicious alcoholic beverage that typically includes brandies made from fruits other than grapes. Brandy itself is usually made from distilled wine, but its definition includes any fruits — even options like apples, pineapples and berries. Therefore, “fruit” brandy tends to exclude plain brandies made from grapes.
The most common fruit used to make brandy is the grape, and brandy can simply be thought of as distilled wine. Grape brandy is usually considered as “plain” brandy — not in a derogatory way, simply due to the fact that brandies can technically be made from any fruit. Fruit brandies can be distilled from fermented plums, apples, pears, cherries, pineapples or any other suitable fruit.
