Osocalis Apple Brandy

Osocalis Apple BrandyOur Apple Brandy is produced from over a dozen varieties of apples all grown in the cool coastal mountains of Northern California. We use everything from the local variety of Hauer, to crab apples. Our base cider is more reminiscent of the ciders from the Basque coast. We use the traditional French distillation and aging techniques of Calvados. It takes almost a decade in a barrel to soften the spirit so that the supple apple character shines through.
