AFT Distillery

Distillery in Luling - 14.81 mi

Edelbrand or “noble brandy” is a premium European fruit brandy created by following strict standards. Master distiller Alexandra Cantwell and husband KC are the founders of AFT Distillery, the only edelbrand producer in Texas. The usual fruit brandies produced today use fermented fruit juice. Edelbrands, meanwhile, require using only whole fruit without the additional sugars, flavors, or additives. This Alpine process, an 800-year old tradition, defines the category of edelbrands. The distillery released its first Alpengold apple, Williams pear, and cherry edelbrands in February 2018. This was after the couple spent four years quietly perfecting the craft to produce them. Despite many bumps in the road, the distillery’s quest to produce traditional artisanal brandies recently won it five of 18 medals in the brandy category of the 2019 American Craft Spirit Awards.

Distillation, LLC currently produces the Cypress Creek Reserve Crystal Rum and the Crystal Creek Reserve Vanilla Flavored Rum. They also sell their Vanilla Extract at the distillery. Created by “aging our Crystal Rum with Tahitian Vanilla Beans”, the rich extract is “ideal for flavoring, cakes, cookies, pastries, and ice cream”.
