Best Apple Brandy
The Tasting:
The Fifty Best held a “blind” tasting of apple brandy with a panel of 10 judges. Strict tasting rules were applied. The order of service was established beforehand by lottery. Each of the apple brandies were poured into fresh glasses from newly-opened sealed bottles and served well chilled. Only ice water, neutral unflavored crackers and chips were available to cleanse the palate.
The judges wrote down their impressions of each wine on score sheets. The scoring was done on a 5-point system, with 5 as the highest. Double-Gold and Gold are awarded according to a set range of final point scores received from the judges. There were no Silver or Bronze medals awarded for this tasting. Medals are provided based entirely on merit and only to products judged worthy of such award.
The tasting notes that follow are summaries of the judges’ opinions, with all replicated commentary eliminated. The distilleries, states of origin and ABV are identified for each apple brandy. Clicking on the brands' names will link to their websites.
