Made from 100% apples, applejack is the oldest distilled spirit in the United States, predating even bourbon. The company that pioneered the category and still makes the apple brandy today, Laird & Co, is also the oldest licensed and family-run distillery in the United States.

However, despite its long history, there was a time when applejack nearly disappeared from bars completely.
