We source a field blend of fresh apples from a local family-owned farm. Varieties include Fall Pippin, Jonathan, Golden Delicious, Black Arkansas, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Gravenstein, McIntosh, Sierra Beauty, Swaar, and Winter Banana.
We cold-ferment fresh-pressed apple cider and distill with more fresh apples in our pot stills. The resulting apple brandy is aged in a range of American and French oak casks prior to blending. In addition, for our 2025 release, we blended in apple brandy from our 2023 bottling that had been held in reserve in stainless steel tanks and drums.
Our 2025 blend was aged in a mix of American and French oak barrels previously used for cider, whiskey, and wine.
With the reserve blends included, the age range of the 2025 release is 3–12 years.
Think of warm apple pie right out of the oven. Now imagine all that comforting, sweet, fragrant deliciousness as a rich textural experience in your glass.
On the nose: Dry cider, lemon meringue, crisp green apple, baking spices.
On the palate: Apple pie, clover honey, finishing with sage, clove, and jasmine tea.
Enjoy in a Sidecar, Jack Rose, with tonic, or simply sipped neat.
We'd love to help point you in the right direction!
