Our Aged Orchard Brandy is distilled from apples and patiently aged in oak, creating a smooth spirit with notes of fresh apple, vanilla, and warm spice. For summer, we’ve paired it with bright citrus, honey, elderflower, and sparkling cider in our Golden Hour, a refreshing cocktail that lets the brandy’s orchard character shine.
