This apple season just got SO much better - we're installing new fermentation tanks at our North Garden distillery 🤩😍 You know what that means? Even MORE apple brandy will be coming your way! Who's ready for fall? 🙋🍂

Did you know that we had 3 distilleries operating simultaneously in the 1900s? The first photo is of our North Garden, VA distillery, which is still operating to this day; the second photo is from Lyons, New York. And last but certainly not least is our Scobeyville HQ 😎
Still on a high from #TalesOfTheCocktail 😍 Jewel of the South's bar director Chris Hannah teamed up with award-winning mixologist Meaghan Dorman to create some uniquely satisfying Laird's Applejack cocktails 😋 Which one would you try?!

You can find these historical treasures behind our Scobeyville office. It's not the same as driving 88 mph in a Delorean and actually visiting the past, but we think of this as our own little time capsule ☺️

If only you could smell the amazingness inside our Bonded Warehouse No. 1 🤤 How many barrels do you think we currently have ageing?!

Before Prohibition ended, we were granted a Federal License to start producing Applejack for "medicinal purposes". The saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" really came through for us 😉 Pictured here is our first barrel of applejack we filled post Prohibition in 1934.
As the nation's oldest distillers, we've overcome many trials and tribulations - the most famous one of them being Prohibition. So how did we survive the dry era? We kept ourselves afloat by producing and selling applesauce. 🍎

This is the oldest bottle of Laird's Apple Brandy that we own, dated back to the 1800s! We do not recommend drinking the contents of this bottle, but enjoying a bottle of our Straight Apple Brandy is the next best thing 🥃🍎🍏

The Lairds have been producing and perfecting applejack since 1698. So why do we go by the phrase "Since 1780"? Sure, we'd been selling our applejack for almost a century beforehand, but our first legal transaction was finally put on the books in 1780. #LairdandCompany
