Applejack, known as, “America’s First Spirit”, has been a part of American culture prior to earning our independence. The Laird family has produced Applejack in New Jersey since 1698, with the first commercial transaction, recorded in the family ledger, in 1780.
As America evolved over the past 200 plus years, so has Laird’s Applejack. To meet consumer demand for lighter, lower proof spirits, the Laird family created the Blended Applejack spirit category in 1972. Today, best described as an apple whiskey, Laird’s Applejack is a pure spirit beverage made from a blend of apple brandy and neutral grain spirits. The aged apple brandy base gives Laird’s Applejack a rich, deep flavor and smooth balance, while retaining the delicate aroma and flavor of tree-ripened apples from which it is made. Our blended applejack imparts this delightful apple flavor to mixed cocktails, punches and culinary recipes. Its versatility is boundless.

The bestseller. Aged apple brandy blended smooth at 80 proof — bright apple, caramel finish, and the easiest bottle in the lineup to mix with. This is what most people start with, and what they keep coming back to. The classic base for a Jack Rose, an Apple Toddy, or swapped into any whiskey cocktail for something your guests haven’t tried before.
