Colorado Apple brandy, all Colorado ingredients! with Golden Moon Distillery

Published: Dec. 24, 2019, 9:17 p.m.

Golden Moon Apple Jack is distilled from a blend of Colorado-grown cider apples. They work with the cidery to begin processing the cider for distillation at the point where the apples are crushed. Golden Moon will pitch yeast for fermentation as the apples come out of the crusher and then transfer the cider back to the distillery where it is allowed to ferment. This insures that they capture the freshness of the fruit in our final product. Once fermentation is completed they distill the cider to make a traditional American-style apple brandy or Apple Jack. This is then lightly oak-aged and bottled.
