Empire Apple Liqueur

Our Apple Liqueur’s swirls of cinnamon and mouthwatering locally grown New York State apples are enriched by our bourbon’s signature notes of caramel and vanilla.

Our Master Distiller, Jeff Fairbrother, has handcrafted a tasting experience unlike any other. This seasonal spirit is perfect served warm around a fire with good company as the leaves begin to turn and Autumn’s chill is in the air. 

Our Apple Liqueur is absolutely delicious on ice with a splash of Citrus Forward Gin or heated with a cinnamon stick and a splash of Four Grain Straight Bourbon.
