Laird's Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Finished Series takes an innovative approach by aging their applejack in bourbon barrels. This unique process imparts rich vanilla, caramel, and oak notes from the bourbon-soaked wood into the apple brandy, creating a complex and flavorful spirit that bridges the gap between whiskey and fruit brandy.

Laird's Bourbon is finished in barrels that previously held the company's iconic applejack, creating a unique whiskey that marries Kentucky's bourbon tradition with New Jersey's apple brandy heritage in a single glass.
