FEATURED SPIRIT

Apple-Flavored Spirits
Apple-flavored products hit the spot.

W

hat's better than a cool glass of
your favorite beverage? How about
the classic, fresh taste of apples? Try one
of these apple-flavored products.
Crown Royal Regal Apple Whiskey
When this Canadian whiskey hits your
tongue, you'll get a clean fruit flavor with
a hint of tartness and acidity. The finish is
smooth, lightly sweet and full-bodied with
notes of caramel and winter spice. This is
a blend of Crown Royal whiskies infused
with Regal Gala apples and apple flavoring.
Jim Beam Apple Bourbon
Jim Beam has been making whiskey for over
220 years, and their Apple Bourbon is a great
addition to this legacy. It goes down smooth
with a subtle but well-defined fruit flavor.
With a balanced mix of straight Kentucky
bourbon and apple liqueur, Jim Beam Apple
has a crisp, invigorating taste. The distiller
recommends drinking it straight, over ice,
or with seltzer and lemon.
Effen Green Apple Vodka
Made in the Netherlands, Effen Green
Apple Vodka has a warm, natural taste with
just a hint of tart apple. The fruit flavor is
refreshing, but not overpowering. Drink it
straight or add it to cocktails for a new twist
on an old favorite.
Kopper Kettle Apple Whiskey
From the Belmont Farms distillery right
here in the Old Dominion, this spirit is a
fusion of corn whiskey, real apple juice, and
aged Virginia whiskey. Sweet and drinkable,
Kopper Kettle Apple Whiskey has notes of
cinnamon and oak, and it pairs well with
dessert.
Ole Smoky Apple Pie Moonshine
Apple Pie Moonshine is distilled in the Great
Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

near the Carolina border. This is a 70-proof
moonshine whiskey blended with apple
juice, ground cinnamon and other spices.
As the name implies, the flavor conjures
up home and warm apple pie.
Chateau Morrisette Sweet Mountain
Apple Wine
Made in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia,
this wine is crafted from sweet, fresh-picked
local apples. Try it with pork, game, poultry,
cheese or even barbeque. The Chateau
Morrisette winery was established in 1978
and has since grown to become one of the
state's largest and most successful. Their
Sweet Mountain Apple Wine has a soft fruity
aroma; you'll detect hints of pear and vanilla
on the palate.
Sailor Jerry Savage Apple Rum
This distillery was named after Norman
Keith Collins, known as Sailor Jerry, who
joined the Navy, sailed around the world,
became a prominent tattoo artist in Hawaii,
and even started his own jazz band. Sailor
Jerry Savage Apple Rum is a blend of their
award-winning spiced rum and real apple.
The flavor is fruit-forward with notes of
cinnamon, oak and vanilla.
