Laird’s America’s 250th Limited Release 13-Year Old Apple Brandy

A 13-Year Tribute. A 328-Year Legacy.

When the United States was founded in 1776, the Laird family had already been distilling apple brandy in New Jersey for 78 years. Today, the eighth, ninth and tenth generations of the family still run the business, still source apples from American orchards, and still age every drop in once-used bourbon barrels.

This special 13-Year-Old limited release is our tribute to America’s 250th anniversary, and the longest-aged apple brandy we have ever bottled. Distilled at our Virginia facility in North Garden and patiently matured in American oak through more than a decade of summers and winters, it carries the depth that only time in barrel can build. Strictly limited to 1,300 bottles, individually numbered, and offered once.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Crisp orchard fruit leads — fresh apple and ripe pear — layered over gentle oak, with delicate notes of sweet spice, vanilla, and soft caramel
Palate: Floral honey opens to a balanced core of apple and pear, framed by warm oak and vanilla.
Finish: Lingering sweet spice and a whisper of wood.
