BLACK DIRT APPLEJACK: Final Thoughts

PINKY MIXOLOGY APPLEJACK-OFF 2014
BLACK DIRT APPLEJACK
Final Thoughts.


Black Dirt Applejack from The Black Dirt Distillery is one of the most complex and intense distilled spirit we have ever encountered, let alone an intense applejack.  The only one we've covered that is bottled in bond, it is something special and is a fun experience either neat or in various cocktail creations.

Black Dirt Applejack has dark apple notes and a smokey tone that really comes in at about the middle.  Like we said before, this is the one you want to put up against the most brutal of ingredients that you can find out there.  Coffee, spice, and sweet stuff, nothing out there can overpower this stuff.

Black Dirt Applejack is made in Warwick NY, and they are the sister/cousin/crazy uncle-company of Warwick Valley Winery, makers of Doc's Draft Cider and other good things.  Warwick Valley has a facility open to the public and gives tours.  You can see their schedule here.

    1. Thanks. It's a great compliment coming from the source itself. Hopefully we'll have a new computer soon (we've been dead in the water for a year) and we can show some of the other offerings from Black Dirt Distillery. Our local retailer carries it and we've already done the photography.
