Branchwater
Hudson Valley | Milan
Branchwater Farms is an integrated, multiuse farm in the heart of Hudson Valley, NY where Robin Touchet and Kevin Pike grow heritage grains for the purpose of distillation by way of organic and regenerative agriculture. They mill their own grain batch by batch, and never let the grist sit for more than 30 minutes before being transferred to the mash tun – to prevent oxidation and give the fermentation fruitiness. Fermentations are temperature controlled to preserve freshness and aromas and distilled as soon as they are complete using two 330L copper pot stills designed by Austrian master distiller, Hans Reisetbauer.
Branchwater Branchwater Apple Brandy
Branchwater Apple is an oak-aged blend of heirloom apples that once dominated the Mid-Hudson Valley in the 17th and 18th Centuries. These apple varieties include Northern Spy, Ben Davis and Rhode Island Greening, among others. The apples are distilled to 85% alcohol and then cut to 72% before resting in new oak casks until mature. Before bottling, the Apple Brandy is cut to 41.5% with water from our family well. Branchwater Apple Brandy highlights the flavors of baked apples, showcasing cinnamon and nutmeg along with vanillin from the cask.
