Tasting Notes
The Specifics
J.J. Pfister Apple Brandy is our take on the brandys created in Calvados, France. Distilled from four varieties of apples from the local region of Courtland, California, our Apple Brandy is truly a unique spirit to be shared with friends and families.
J.J. Pfister Apple Brandy is a blend of four apple varieties and barrel-aged in toasted oak barrels. Our Apple Brandy offers the warming depths of a dark liquor with the expected profile of freshly harvested apples and a delightful twist of salted caramel, cherry, vanilla, and leather.
With a blend of apple varieties – including Braeburn, Gala, Fuji, and Granny Smith – from Green and Hemly Orchards in Courtland, CA, the J.J. Pfister team fermented the apples with skins for an extended period of time to deliver a more intense flavor profile. Aged in toasted French oak barrels, the result is a smooth spirit perfect for sipping or mixing in traditional cocktails. Each bottle is 375 mL.
