Neversink Spirits Apple Aperitif

Neversink Spirits Apple Aperitif is a pommeau-style apéritif crafted in Elmsford, New York, that beautifully captures the essence of heirloom apples. This unique blend combines one part Neversink apple brandy, aged for a year in ex-whiskey barrels, with two parts freshly pressed, unfermented heirloom apple cider. The blend undergoes further aging for 18 months in 60-gallon French oak casks, resulting in a richly layered and complex profile. The nose opens with aromas of fresh red apple, complemented by hints of walnut and butterscotch toffee. On the palate, bright acidity reveals notes of clove, sage, and celery root, while the finish carries lingering impressions of fresh apple skin, stewed apples, and a touch of ginger. Versatile and elegant, this apéritif can be enjoyed slightly chilled as a neat pour or incorporated into a cold-weather Spritz.
