What is Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond?

Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond is a powerful expression of America's oldest native spirit, crafted from 100% apples and aged for at least four years in charred oak barrels. What many don't know is that this iconic brand played a role in the American Revolution, with George Washington himself requesting the Laird family's recipe for apple brandy to boost troop morale during the harsh winter at Valley Forge.

Why do we love Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond?

Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond stands out as America's oldest native spirit, with the Laird family distilling apple brandy since 1698. This historic brandy is made from 100% apples grown in the Shenandoah Valley and aged for at least four years in charred oak barrels, resulting in a robust, full-bodied spirit that captures the essence of American distilling tradition.

How do you drink Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond?

Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its rich apple character and warming spice notes to fully unfold. This robust spirit also excels in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans, particularly on crisp autumn evenings, and pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like roasted pork or sharp aged cheeses that complement its bold flavors.

Nose: Fresh apple orchard, with hints of baked cinnamon and nutmeg. A whiff of oak and vanilla from the barrel aging. Light caramel and toasted almond notes emerge as it opens up.

Palate: Rich, full-bodied apple flavor upfront. Not sweet, but concentrated and intense. Oak spice and warm vanilla balance the fruit. Touches of leather and tobacco add complexity. The high proof brings a pleasant warmth without overwhelming heat.

Finish: Long and dry. The apple flavor lingers, transforming into baked apple pie. Cinnamon and nutmeg spices resurface. A slight tannic grip from the oak, with a faint nuttiness on the tail end. The warmth from the alcohol persists, leaving a satisfying glow.

Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled In Bond is crafted from a blend of apple varieties, distilled in copper pot stills, and aged for at least four years in charred oak barrels. What's fascinating about this process is that it adheres to the strict regulations of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, ensuring the brandy is produced in a single distillation season, by one distiller, at one distillery, and aged for at least four years under U.S. government supervision.

  • Laird's Straight Apple Brandy predates the United States itself. The Laird family has been distilling apple brandy since 1698, making it America's oldest native distilled spirit. Their original distillery in New Jersey received License #1 from the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 1780.
  • George Washington was such a fan of Laird's apple brandy that he requested the recipe from Robert Laird, a Revolutionary War soldier. The company still has a copy of Washington's request letter in their archives.
  • Unlike most apple brandies, Laird's Straight Apple Brandy 100 Proof Bottled in Bond is made from 100% apples, with no additives or neutral spirits. It takes about 20 pounds of apples to produce one 750ml bottle, resulting in a pure, intense apple flavor that's rare in the spirits world.

      Couldn't find it locally after moving to the Idaho panhandle.

      Love Laird's Straight Apple Brandy. It's always been a go to for riffs on whiskey cocktails or even sipping over ice sitting by the firepit on a fall evening. Thank goodness for Curiada, as it's almost impossible to find a company that will ship spirits to Idaho.

      Pleasantly surprising and outstanding customer service!

      I wanted a bottle of Laird’s Straight Apple Brandt because of the history of the distillery and almost all of the recipes I’ve seen for a Jack Rose use the bottled in bond. I was concerned because when I got the shipment, the bottle seal was cracked the cap was partially unscrewed. The liquor leaked into (and through) the box. There was a strong alcohol smell. I was worried that a cocktail would be overpowering. But it was even better than the cocktails I’ve mixed with the blended applejack.

      And Joey is a great guy! When I contacted Curiada about the damaged shipment, Joey was prompt and responsive and had a new bottle out to me straightaway. I will absolutely be back to order the hard to find bottles for my home bar.

      Best Apple Brandy

      This is probably the best apple brandy you can find for an extremely reasonable price. This brandy can be substituted in both whiskey cocktails and brandy cocktails and will make them even better.
