Apple brandy is a type of distilled spirit made primarily from fermented apple juice. It is produced through the fermentation of apples, which are then distilled to create a strong alcoholic beverage. The most well-known varieties include Calvados, a French apple brandy from the Normandy region, and Applejack, an American version that has a rich history dating back to colonial times. The flavor of apple brandy is typically fruity and aromatic, with notes of apple, spice, and sometimes oak, depending on the aging process. It is often enjoyed neat, in cocktails, or used in cooking to enhance the flavor of various dishes.
