Our March/April issue dives deep into the world of brandy—and it’s impossible to talk about brandy in America, or the world of apple brandy, without talking to Lisa Laird Dunn. The executive vice president, COO, and global ambassador for Laird & Co. in New Jersey, she’s the ninth generation of her family to be involved in the brandy business. For this episode, we chat with her about apple brandy’s heritage in the United States, its indelible role in American drinks history, and the role that the cocktail resurgence has played in restoring the fortunes of American apple brandy.

Radio Imbibe is the audio home of Imbibe magazine. In each episode, we dive into liquid culture, exploring the people, places, and flavors of the drinkscape through conversations about cocktails, coffee, beer, spirits, and wine. Keep up with us at imbibemagazine.com, and on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and if you're not already a subscriber, we'd love to have you join us—click here to subscribe. 

Craft distilling is all about experimentation and the ability to release new flavours and tastes. 

So it's not surprising that in New York, a state known for its apple production, craft distiller, Barking Irons has concentrated on apple based spirits. 

But rather than just look at AppleJack variations, the brand has now released a gin made from apples. Some would say this new gin is New York to the core.

Passionate hospitality duo Hamish Watts and Ben Carroll from Applejack have always thrived on challenging the status quo.

But what happens when a pandemic turns the status quo on its head?

These two leaders thrived by making some tough calls including rejecting the trend towards take-away meals from their venues, getting creative about staff engagement and motivation (including introducing a new staff benefits package) and a decision for complete transparency with the team about the real state of business finances. 

The result? Renewed purpose, gratitude and even business growth - acquiring one of Sydney's most renowned pubs in the middle of an industry lock-down.
