Apple Brandy

There are up to 8 different varieties of apple from local farms in Southwest Michigan in each batch of our Apple Brandy. A mix of sweet, bittersweet, and tart apples give a consistent and balanced product that is a true expression of apple. The apples arrive in crates and are hand sorted and chopped to create a mash. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel and takes three weeks. After distillation the brandy is rested in stainless to round out the aromas and flavors for a minimum of nine weeks.

Apple Brandy is a flagship spirit for Rhine Hall Distillery. Because apples can be stored, it is possible to produce this brandy year round. Rhine Hall Apple Brandy is made in a distinctive style common in Germany and Austria which uses the whole fruit. There is never any additional juice or cider added for fermentation.
