It takes 11 kg (over 24 lbs) of ripe organic apples to produce a single liter of Hans Reisetbauer Apple in Oak Barrel brandy. The eau-de-vie is crafted around a base of primarily Jonagold apples harvested in September and October and enters the barrel at 60% ABV. The resulting brandy is punchy and refined, exploding with apples and baking spice.
