Many people in the U.S. are unfamiliar with Applejack. So, we're here to tell you all about applejack, the drink. After we're done, we think you should give it a try.

What is Applejack?

Applejack is a fermented cider that dates back to the 1600s when colonists were working on apple orchards in the Northeast and using them to produce the hard cider. While making the hard cider, they decided to go for something even stronger, so they upped the alcohol content of the apple cider by leaving the barrels outside overnight to freeze. This method was known as "jacking," which is where the name Applejack comes from.

The flavor profile of applejack is interesting. The apple flavor is strong with a hint of caramel and fall spices. Depending on how long the drink has been aged, applejack can be sweet or dry.

Applejack isn't as well known as other liquors and spirits nowadays because apples are a more expensive source to use than grains. So, let's give Applejack a resurgence this month and share it with friends and family at holiday parties!
