Clear Creek Apple Brandy 8 Year Old is an American apple brandy made in the style of a traditional French Calvados, bottled at 40% ABV.
It is made by crushing and fermenting whole apples from the Pacific Northwest, distilling the fermented mash and then ageing the brandy a minimum of eight years in oak casks.
Long ageing gives a mellow, rounded brandy where baked apple and pear meet vanilla, spice and oak.
Clear Creek is a pioneer of American fruit brandies, and its 8 Year Apple Brandy is a classic of the category.
