- Description
- Made from the rare Sweeney Nonpareil apple—a native Shropshire variety nearly lost to extinction—Henstone's apple brandy is distilled from the distillery's own cider and matured in new American oak. The spirit carries the distinctive character of heritage English apples: smooth, warming, and with a subtle orchard complexity that distinguishes it from traditional Calvados. Bottled at 45%, it works equally well neat as a digestif or mixed into classic cocktails with citrus and spice. This is an alternative spirit for those exploring the boundaries of English craft distilling.
