![]() We paired the Applejack with an equal amount of our Old Tom, which you can find the recipe for here. In France, they make an apple brandy called Calvados, which is quite different in character from Applejack, but it is interesting to switch them out in recipes to see how they play with others. ![]() There are also a few other companies that make similar products. Out of state, you can get several others including our favorite, the Laird’s Bottled-in-Bond Straight Apple Brandy. Their 80-proof blended Applejack is the only variety available in here in Alabama. The Laird’s company of New Jersey is the oldest and most prominent distiller of this product. Applejack has been making a gradual comeback in recent years.

We also remembered that we had some blackberry thyme shrub in the fridge still, and that would be the veritable cranberry sauce on the Wild Turkey.Īs it happened, we had made a cocktail earlier in the evening using some fresh rosemary from the yard as a garnish, and we decided to leave the rosemary in the glass, more out of laziness than creativity. It also made sense to add Applejack, one of our favorite add-ins for Autumn cocktails in general, and cardamom bitters would give us the spiciness we were looking for. We wanted something that would invoke the herbs, spices, and sweetness of a properly satiating Thanksgiving meal. Naturally, it would have to include Wild Turkey.
