Distilled in the Finger Lakes region and aged in charred oak barrels in Red Hook, Brooklyn, it’s the perfect spirit for a fan of fine American Applejack, or the brown spirits drinker seeking something new.
Barking Irons Spirits was co-founded by Elliott Phear and Casey McGrath who were interested in bringing the original American spirit, Applejack, back to life. The brand pays homage to the rich heritage of old New York through the map of Five Points on the interior of their bottle to the traditional firefighter’s shield shape of the front label. Their first product, a 100-proof Apple brandy made from 100% NY apples, is distilled upstate before being aged in Brooklyn in charred oak barrels.
