Laird's Applejack
Laird’s Applejack - n 1698 Alexander Laird, a County Fife Scotsman, emigrated from Scotland to America aboard the ship the Caledonia, accompanied by his sons Thomas and William. William settled in Monmouth County, New Jersey. While in Scotland it is believed that William was involved in the production of Scotch. Thus upon his arrival to America, he applied his skills to the most abundant natural resource available in this area of the New World…apples! He began production of AppleJack for his own use, as well as his friends and neighbors.Laird became America's first commercial distillery with License #1 and in 1760 George Washington wrote the Laird family requesting their recipe for producing Applejack.
Jersey Lightning is a historical nickname for Laird’s Apple Brandy. This 100 proof, clear, unaged brandy is the pure expression of our apple distillate. Made from tree ripened apples, it explodes with the aroma and flavors of cooked apples, figs, and peaches, while remaining incredibly soft and full in the mouth. It can be consumed neat or used in cocktails as a complimentary or main ingredient.
