About

House of Applejay is a women-owned, liqueur-first distillery in the North Georgia mountains near the Ellijays, producing small-batch, all-natural spirits and liqueurs inspired by local peaks and traditions. Signature Applejay from Ellijay is a pure apple spirit with no added flavors, alongside vodkas like Mt. Frozen Knob and Mt. Grassy Knob, and award-winning liqueurs such as Mt. Wildcat juniper and Winter Cherry Mountain. They emphasize Liquistry for modern mixology, reducing service adjustments for faster, consistent cocktails.
