Laird's Straight Apple Brandy Bottled in Bond

Laird's Straight Apple Brandy Bottled in Bond is a historic American apple brandy from Laird & Company, produced entirely from apples and matured for a minimum of four years in charred oak barrels. Bottled in Bond at a robust 50% ABV, it represents the traditional style of Laird's apple brandy, a family recipe with more than two centuries of history.
