By the editors · 2 min readApple Brandy opens with a jolt of crisp orchard fruit—green, tart, almost cider-like—before the warmth of cognac and oakwood barrels begins to creep in. The apple never feels candied or synthetic; it has the bruised, slightly fermented quality of fruit left to macerate in alcohol. There's a subtle spice current running underneath, grounding what could have been purely gourmand into something more serious.
As it settles, the boozy accord grows richer and the apple recedes into a soft haze, like the memory of fruit rather than the fruit itself. The drydown is warm wood and amber, with just enough residual sweetness to recall the opening. This is not a cozy autumn fragrance so much as a study in contrasts—bright against dark, fresh against aged—best suited to someone who wants depth without heaviness.
