Brandy Beginnings

Asimina Pumila begins life the same as Fumus Pumila, a smoked apple fermentation in an open vat and copper pot distillation. However, during fermentation, we travel to the Maryland countryside and forage for our local flavors: paw paw, persimmon, and black walnut. The final run the Pechuga is done over these local gifts, and to tie it all together, a Maryland Country Ham is suspended in the still above the pot. The ham gives a subtle salinity and savory note to the final product, distilled to proof.
