For Republic Restorative's take on America’s oldest spirit, they partnered with a fourth-generation apple grower 200 miles from the distillery. Fermenting a blend of biodynamic apple juice and distilling the cider on the lees in their pot still to produce the robust apple notes of Chapmans, this apple spirit is dual-aged in French and American oak for not more than six months, resulting in bold orchard fruit notes. The finished blend highlights our favorite qualities of apple brandy from French and American traditions. We think Johnny “Appleseed” Chapman would be proud.
