Review: Brightonwoods Apple Brandy

by Jeff Ellingson

Brightonwoods Apple Brandy was introduced May 2019.  Unlike E&J and Christian Brothers who make their apple brandy from a grape base, Brightonwoods Apple Brandy is distilled entirely from Brightonwoods Orchard apples.  With over 200 heirloom apple varieties Wisconsin’s Brightonwoods Orchard is the perfect source for their apples.  Brightonwoods Apple Brandy is crafted at Great Lakes Distillery in Milwaukee Wisconsin.  Great Lakes Distillery was Wisconsin’s first new distillery to open since Prohibition when Guy Rehorst opened the doors in 2004.  Only one Wisconsin distillery returned after Prohibition, First National Distilling went back to distilling gin for a brief period until they realized producing yeast was more profitable.  They changed their name to Red Star Yeast and they are still making yeast today.  Great Lakes Distillery currently produces Vodka, Gin, Rum, Whiskey, Liqueurs, Absinthe, and Brandy.  In crafting Brightonwoods Apple Brandy a few carefully selected apple varieties are distilled using a custom Arnold Holstein copper pot still.  The brandy is then aged for over two years in new charred oak barrels, and used bourbon barrels.  The brandy is not chill filtered prior to bottling at 90 proof.  The aroma leads with baked apple, oak, and spice.  The sweet apple cider entry is joined by caramel and toasted oak building to a vanilla caramel apple peak.  It fades with cinnamon applesauce and finishes dry and oaky leaving baked caramel apple taste.
