McIntosh

McIntosh (or Macintosh) is one of the great North American apples. Discovered in the early 19th century it rapidly became an important home and commercial apple variety in Canada and the north-eastern USA.

McIntosh is notable for its distinctive vinous flavor - reminiscent of sweet grapes - its maroon skin color, and its gleaming white juicy flesh.

Although it has numerous descendants, for many apple enthusiasts only the "Mac" will do.
