South Tipperary Neighbours Cornelius Traas of the Apple Farm and Jennifer Nickerson of Tipperary Boutique Distillery at Ballindoney Farm are delighted to announce details of an exciting new Irish Apple Brandy joint collaboration called 'The 80'
just in time for Christmas.
The spirit which is made from the Apple Farm’s Apple Cider has been distilled by Tipperary Boutique Distillery and has been housed in a first fill, ex-Jerez Sherry Cask which was selected by Traas in 2021. The collaboration is the culmination of many
conversations over the years between the neighbours whose farms are situated within ‘a stone’s throw’ of each other in the Golden Vale.
The name of the spirit – The 80 – celebrates the eighty hand-picked apples required to fulfil each 500ml bottle of brandy which have been grown on the Traas Family Apple Farm.
