I finally got around to trying this out.
I did a tasting of Tom's Foolery applejack against Laird's. It was a lot of fun and this is quite an interesting product.
I will admit I am not the biggest fan of "apples" actually, but I do like Applejack and the few cocktails you can make with it.
So here is my recent tasting and video review of Tom's Foolery. Enjoy!

It should be noted that the Laird's used in the comparison is blended applejack. It contains GNS. The Tom's is 100% applejack. Laird's does make a 100% applejack product but it's not as widely distributed as the blend.
Not really apples to apples, then.

This sounds like something I would like to sample. Is there an age statement? I ask because I'm thinking of Calvados.
No age statement, but this batch spent two years in wood. They want to get later batches up to 4+ years old for bottling. A variety of barrels are used, including former cognac and bourbon cooperage.Quote:

Thanks Chuck I will note that in the description of the video.Quote:
