This is the only apple in the bottle grown in North America.The bottles are placed onto trees in our orchards near Mt.Hood and are harvested when the fruit is full and ripe.Next, the apple is covered with our amber-smooth apple brandy aged in old Cognac barrels of Limousin oak following in the custom of the Calvados makers in Normandy.The apple imparts additional flavor from the high-quality Oregon fruit we use and makes a great gift..
