Our Applejack is hand-made, meaning that we actually "make it by hand." 

You can also call it "small batch" too. But that term is being used by some of the established bourbon makers.  To the big guys, "small batch" means 19 barrels at a time, which is about 650 cases of bourbon.   (It would take me four years to produce a small batch).

To me, small batch is 10 cases.   Maybe it should be called a micro-batch.

Modifications to the antique equipment ... those are hand-made too! 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  


Tom's Foolery is an artisan distillery.  We produce small batches of apple brandy, about 4 gallons at a time, incorporating processes similar to those the Ohio pioneers used to make distilled spirits back as early as 1797. 

 
  
Tom's Foolery is small.  Really small.  Most large distilleries spill more spirits in a day that we can make in a whole year.   Starting with the finest ingredients, small batch fermentation and distillation allows for attention to the finest details.  Here atTom's Foolery, we like to think this helps us to produce the best apple brandy in the world.
