Apple Eau de Vie

[Bushman]

Congratulations to Orcas Island Distillery for winning best of class for their Apple Eau de Vie Brandy. I will buy a bottle to compare it to what I make. I have walked by the distillery but they were not open as there distillery is just up the hill from the very popular Marina with the same name. They are a 10 minute boat trip from the cabin and island where I go for shrimping and get my apples from their 2 orchards to make our gallons of apple juice for our production. We do not even get to a fraction of the apples and it ends up falling on the ground and the sheep and deer get the bulk of them. I have always thought about what a waste this was and I think I will call my buddy that owns the property and see if he wants to try and sell or barter the apples to the distillery.
