Stillbound

An old category. A new arrival.

Pommeau sits between wine and brandy, but belongs to neither. Fresh-pressed apple, rested in oak with aged brandy for two years. A French tradition centuries old, and almost entirely absent from American glasses, until now.

Finished at Altitude

Most American spirits are aged at sea level. Stillbound is not. Our barrels rest at 5,280 feet in Hotchkiss, Colorado. Thinner air. Lower pressure. Cold mountain nights. A drier climate. The barrel breathes differently up here. The spirit evaporates differently, concentrates differently, finishes differently than spirit aged at sea level. You taste the altitude.

STILLBOUND

Pommeau

America's Next Slow Sip

Sixteen percent. The weight of a full-bodied wine. The depth of two years in oak. The patience of a French tradition centuries old.

THE POUR

Three ounces

Lightly chilled · Neat

High places. Low voices.

Some drinks are for the bar. Stillbound is for the room you settle into. The slow part of the night, the quiet part of the conversation, the drink you reach for when there is finally nowhere else to be.

STILLBOUND

Apple Brandy

America's Original Slow Sip

Forty percent. Five years in American oak. Pressed from apples, finished at altitude. The first American spirit.

THE POUR

Two ounces

Neat. Room temperature.

Before bourbon had a name, America was drinking brandy.

Apple brandy is the first American spirit. Older than bourbon by more than 140 years. Distilled in colonial orchards, poured at the founding, favored by presidents. Corn came later. America forgot what came first. Stillbound is bringing it back.

Pommeau

“Pommeau is what you pour when you don’t want cocktails masked in sugar, the commitment of an opened bottle of wine, or the subtle feeling you’re ordering whiskey for the room rather than for yourself.”

Tasting notes

Honeyed apple, warm oak, subtle spice with a lingering finish.

Serving ritual

Serve chilled in a coupe glass. Best enjoyed before dinner or by the fire.

Aging process

Two years in American oak at 5,280 feet, where time and altitude shape character.

Apple Brandy

Brandy is what Americans knew. Across the orchards of our first colonies apples were distilled, rested in oak, and poured at the table. It was a drink of intention. Stillbound carries that tradition forward.

Tasting notes

Rich caramel, baked apple, vanilla oak with a smooth, warming finish.

Serving ritual

Neat in a snifter or over a single large ice cube. Savor slowly.

Aging process

Five years in charred American oak, developing layers of flavor and refinement.
