Laird’s Apple Jack c. 1780
In 1698 Alexander Laird, a County Fife Scotsman, emigrated from Scotland to America aboard the ship the Caledonia, accompanied by his sons Thomas and William. William settled in Monmouth County, New Jersey. While in Scotland it is believed that William was involved in the production of Scotch. Thus upon his arrival to America, he applied his skills to the most abundant natural resource available in this area of the New World…apples! He began production of AppleJack for his own use, as well as his friends and neighbors.
In 1717, a descendant of William Laird built the Colts Neck Inn in Colts Neck, New Jersey. This inn served as a stopping point for stagecoaches and dispatch riders traveling from Freehold to Amboy, New Jersey. Robert Laird’s account book of the Colts Neck Inn operations in 1780, the first commercial records, shows that "Cyder Spirits" - Applejack - was a standard item on the menu, at a price of four shillings, six pence per gallon. This represented about a half-day’s wages.
Robert Laird was a Revolutionary War soldier serving under George Washington, and the Laird family supplied the troops with Applejack. Historical records show that, prior to 1760, George Washington wrote to the Laird family requesting their recipe for producing Applejack, which the Laird family gladly supplied. Entries appear in Washington’s diary in the 1760s regarding his production of "Cyder Spirits".
In 1780, Robert Laird established America’s first commercial distillery in the tiny community of Scobeyville, NJ.
