By our friends at Strickland Hollow and Distiller Jerry Pellegrino.  They are dedicated to farming traditional heirloom varietal cider apples in a holistic way.  They use copper stills to gently concentrate the complex flavors and textures of the New York apples and aged in American oak barrels.  

"There are three crucial steps to making great spirits; fermentation, distillation and aging...each as important as the next. When we were looking to purchase stills we had a few criteria.  We wanted to make our  Apple Brandy by following the traditional methods used in Calvados. That meant using a pot still with a 'brandy hat' and doing a single distillation." -Distiller Jerry Pellegrino
