The latest venture of Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery, Black Dirt Apple Jack takes its name from the dark, fertile soil left by an ancient glacial lake that once covered thousands of acres of upstate New York. The Black Dirt Applejack is made from New York apples and aged for minimum of four years in new charred American oak barrels. Both the nose and palate offer pronounce notes of fresh, sweet apples accompanied by subtle notes of caramel, cinnamon and honey. The lingering finish is accentuated by hints of oak and baking spice. The potent proof of alcohol makes it ideal for cocktail.
