Detailed Description
1911 Spirits Small Batch Vodka is distilled exclusively from New York apples grown at the Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards. Once the apples have been harvested, they are pressed into a sweet cider, fermented and then triple distilled through 1911’s copper still. “It’s our apples, it’s our cider and it’s our vodka that comes off that still,” says Skiff. “You can turn around and look at those hills and see the apples that made that vodka. That’s pretty unique.”¬ù

Distillery Information
In 1911, George Skiff and Andrew Beak founded a 100-acre apple orchard in New York’s Hudson Valley. At the time, the Hudson Valley, which extends from New York City northward through Albany, was home to thousands of farms, hundreds of which distilled the excess fruits and grains they harvested into spirits. As a result of the onset of Prohibition, however, these farmers were forced to abandon their stills.
