About the Release

This may be the first 100% Pure Arkansas Apple Brandy released commercially in the Ozarks in over 100 years—likely since before Prohibition! Crafted from the heirloom Arkansas Black Apple, which is rare due to environmental changes, this apple produces an outstanding brandy. Aged using a unique craft distilling process to achieve a 6-7 year taste profile, this is the finest RG Macon & Carson Apple Brandy to date.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Caramel apple aromas blend with bourbon, oak, vanilla, and Christmas spices, with light toffee notes.

  • Palate: Rich bourbon notes lead with smooth apple flavors, followed by pepper and cinnamon from the oak. Toffee sweetness complements stone fruit and leather notes, with a touch of warmth.

  • Finish: Medium finish with lingering oak and apple flavors, a slight tannic bourbon essence, and fading Christmas spices, leaving a hint of honey sweetness.
