Laird's is a historic American brand of spirits, and the oldest licensed distillery in the United States, with a legacy stretching back to 1780. The brand is synonymous with applejack, a type of apple brandy that has been a part of American history for centuries.

The company's story began with William Laird, a Scottish immigrant who started distilling spirits from the abundant apples of colonial New Jersey in the late 1600s. His great-grandson, Robert Laird, formally established Laird & Company in 1780. The brand's products were so renowned that historical records show even George Washington requested the family's recipe for "cyder spirits."

Laird's signature product, Applejack, is known for its smooth, rich, and distinctly apple-forward flavor. While the term "applejack" originally referred to a potent spirit made by a freezing process, Laird's perfected the modern, distilled version. Today, the brand produces a range of products, including their traditional blended applejack, which is a mix of apple brandy and neutral grain spirits, and their Straight Apple Brandy, which is a pure expression of their distilled spirit.

Laird's is a true American original, with its spirits embodying the country's early agricultural and distilling heritage. The brand is celebrated for its versatility, working equally well in classic cocktails like the Jack Rose or as a neat sipper.
