Apple Brandy

Brandy is a spirit that has been distilled rather than fermented.  Although there are many kinds of brandy made with grapes, there are also brandies that are made using other fruits. When grapes are not involved, the brandy usually takes the name of the fruit that was utilized. For example, apple brandy is made with apples. Different varieties of apples can be distilled to create brandies with unique flavor palates. Once the spirit has been distilled, it is placed in oak barrels for aging. Brandies that are aged for a short period of time tend to retain the smell and taste of apples. Those that are aged longer acquire vanilla and spice notes from the wood.
