Santa Fe Apple Brandy

Northern New Mexico, with its centuries-old orchards of apples, peaches, pears, and cherries, has a rich history of producing exceptional brandies. Transforming a harvest into wine and distilling it into brandy is the ultimate way to preserve the essence of the fruit. The result captures the spirit of the region—the mountain air, pure water, and rich earth—distilled into its most refined form. Aged for a minimum of one year in lightly charred new American oak barrels, the brandy develops a depth and complexity that only time can enhance.
Santa Fe Apple Brandy began as a labor of love, crafted exclusively from apples grown in founder Colin Keegan’s orchard in Tesuque. This historic orchard, once homesteaded by Archbishop Lamy’s groundskeeper—known for his resourceful, if not entirely legal, irrigation methods—is nestled in a verdant riparian valley at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The apples from this high-desert oasis reflect the unique character of the land, yielding a distinct and vibrant spirit.
As production has grown, Santa Fe Apple Brandy now incorporates a blend of Jonathan, Gala, and Golden Delicious apples from northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, while staying true to the varieties that defined its origins. The brandy offers layered notes of apple peel, vanilla, fruit, and cinnamon, balanced by subtle hints of granitic earth, pure water, and crisp, dry air. Each bottle is a testament to the heritage and beauty of the Southwest, a true treasure in every sip.
While we'd love to ship to all states, we cannot ship to: Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah.
