DISTILLERY NOTES

It's like Calvados, only cask strength and made from heritage apples grown on Cortes Island! Harvested in 2018, this apple brandy was aged almost 3 years in a single whisky cask. This is not your grammy’s brandy. This is bold, spicy and resinous with apple sauce and custard and an overabundance of personality. In other words, just the way we like it!

BC SPIRITS NOTES

You know how much I love my fruit spirits, and the diversification of what Wayward Distillery is exciting. A cask strength Cortes Island Apple Brandy aged for 3 years sounds and is exciting. On the nose, fresh cut apple notes (obviously), a blend of sweet, tart and tannic notes with the hints of oak and spice coming from the barrel in the background; this all flows through on the palate with apple richness and balanced oak profile.

Alcohol - 62.63% / 125.26 proof

Color - Light straw gold

Nose - Apple leaf and bark on the nose with hints of fresh apple and oak

Taste - Ripe apple, those green leaf and bark notes are complex and then balanced out with the pop of fresh oak, it’s there but not overly in your face

Finish - Long apple heat for days, something that you should enjoy after dinner with friends

Best Enjoyed - Neat
