Apple jack

Applejack is brandy distilled from (duh) apples and it was once our nation’s most popular booze. It tastes like what would happen if you made whiskey from an apple and then wrapped yourself in a blanket made of it. The fabled Johnny Appleseed was once the spirit’s spokesman, and most folks made it from apple wine by freeze-distilling it in their back yards. This was both a great way to use up surplus apples and to get pleasantly drunk
