Also, what fruit is 'Granny'?

I was wondering. How was that? You didn't mention a detailed tasting note but from tasting the fruit I imagine it wasn't very flavorful?
It seems that cherry and raspberry schnapps often have such intense and lovely noses, but it doesn't always work on the palate. My favorite for the balance is often Poire Williams, but perhaps apple is in the same register.
Otto Nieminen wrote:Yes, it was rather like the fruit: tart green aromas. I happen to like these aromas and I thought they were faithfully reproduced in the brandy so I very much enjoyed it - perhaps the one that brought me the most pleasure after the Moscato. It was perhaps the one that divided tasters the most as many did find it bland and neutral. It certainly wasn't like the raspberry or the apricot in being explosively aromatic; it was subtle.
