Tasting Notes:
Bold and warm, like a drink of apple pie. Apple and spice accentuate the bourbon’s corn sweetness. The perfect fall and winter sipper.
To make the Apple Cider Syrup: Reduce fresh apple cider with sugar in a 2:1 ratio of cider to sugar. Add a touch of cinnamon and boil until reduced to a syrupy consistency.
