About this bottle

Apples sourced from Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and its vicinity are used for Laird's brandies, which are then distilled in New Jersey. Following distillation, the brandy is aged in 50-gallon charred oak barrels before being bottled in Virginia. This bottling represents the oldest brandy currently offered by Laird's. An interesting detail is that producing this 12-year-old brandy requires 30 pounds of apples.
