J. Seed's starts it's lifecycle on real apple trees. Cider apples are hand picked and examined to make sure they are just the right mix of sweet and tart to delight the tastebuds. Cider apples are at the heart of J. Seed's and it is truly important that every sip or shot of J. Seed's contains the full bodied aroma, and the range of powerful and subtle flavors that come from our natural cider apples.​ After all, without them we'd be just another american whiskey.
