HENSTONE APPLE BRANDY NONPAREIL 700 ml

Henstone apple brandy is a labor of love, distilled from their own cider to craft a spirit that's both smooth and warming.

After distillation, the spirit rests in new American oak casks, maturing at around 65% before it's finally bottled at 45%.

Named after the Sweeney Nonpareil, a rare Shropshire apple variety saved from extinction in the 1970s, it's one of the apples they press to make their cider. Visitors can admire these very trees in their orchard. Stonehouse Brewery sells the resulting cider under the names Sweeney Mountain (refreshing, traditionally made, medium dry) and Elevate (sparkling, medium dry, bursting with apple goodness).

Nonpareil is best savored neat as a digestif, though it also shines in cocktails like the Nonpareil '75, where it's mixed with lemon juice, sugar syrup, and sparkling wine, creating a delightful fusion of flavors.
