Apple brandy was the first spirit produced in America during the Revolution. Following in the Colonial tradition, our small batch, hand-crafted apple brandy is distilled from a true cider blend of several apple varieties including Jonagold, Winesap, Rhode Island Greening, Spy, McIntosh, and Jonathan.
