Neversink, Apple Aperitif, New York, 750mL

An Apple Apéritif made in Port Chester, NY, in the style of Pommeau de Normandie. Made from a blend of Neversink’s house-distilled aged apple brandy and freshly pressed bittersweet apples. Once blended, the aperitif is aged for 18 months in 60-gallon French oak casks that previously held white wine. Fresh, red apple on the nose with notes of walnut and Werther’s Original. Bright and pleasant acidity greets you on the palate with clove, sage, and celery root. The finish offers echoing waves of fresh apple skin and stewed apples with notes of ginger. This complex spirit is delicious sipped neat (serve slightly chilled) or in a cold-weather Spritz.
