Very nice. I didn't have the malic acid, so I doubled down on citric. Came out a touch too tart, but a tiny dribble of simple made it better. I imagine different grenadines affect the sweet/tart ratio quite a bit (I used Sonoma Syrups). Wish I wasn't out of Laird's 7 1/2 Yr. I bet the extra oakiness would play well here.

Glad you liked it. My preferred apple brandy for Jack Roses (including this variant) is a mix of Laird's Bonded with the 7 1/2. You get the rounded oakiness of the older expression with the punch and fruit of the 100 proof.

Brilliant; I'll have to try that next time I have the 7 1/2 on hand.
