The taste is rich and sweet with flavors of apple juice, toasted oak, honey, and pear. The finish is long and dry with a light burn, featuring notes of apple skins, spiced baked apples, and oak. Overall, I prefer this over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/beers\/lairds-straight-apple-brandy-bottled-in-bond\/\">Laird&#8217;s Apple Brandy<\/a> as it is smoother, less intensely oaked, and has a better apple flavor. Definitely worth a try if you like sweeter (though far from cloying) sipping spirits and apples.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmbay.com\/articles\/calvados-sidecar\">Calvados Sidecar<\/a> is delightfully smooth and the apple and lemon complement each other quite well.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a Calvados <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liquor.com\/recipes\/jack-rose\/\">Jack Rose<\/a> is much smoother, more fruit forward, and in my opinion, better in every way than one made with Laird&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.diffordsguide.com\/cocktails\/recipe\/4729\/apple-jack-by-sasha-petraske\">Apple Jack<\/a>&#8221; cocktail that made blended Applejack drinkable is utterly divine with Calvados.
