House of Applejay Distillery Now Available Across Georgia Through RNDC with Winter Cherry Mountain Liqueur

East Ellijay, GA — April, 10th 2026 — House of Applejay Distillery announces that its award-winning Winter Cherry Mountain Liqueur is now available across the state of Georgia through Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC).

This marks a major step in expanding access to one of the Southeast’s most distinctive all-natural liqueurs, bringing the Spirit of the Ellijays to bars, restaurants, and retailers throughout the state.

Winter Cherry Mountain Liqueur, recently awarded Double Gold at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, is crafted as an Old-Style fruit liqueur designed for modern cocktail culture. Built with depth, natural flavor, and structure, it has become known for redefining classic cocktails—most notably as a replacement for simple syrup in an Old Fashioned, creating the signature “Mountain Old Fashioned.”

“Georgia is our home, and making Winter Cherry Mountain available statewide is an important moment for us,” said Caroline Porsiel, founder and CEO of House of Applejay Distillery. “We’ve built this liqueur to work—behind the bar, in cocktails, and in real programs. RNDC allows us to bring that vision to more places across Georgia.”

House of Applejay Distillery specializes in all-natural liqueurs and fine spirits, blending historic methods with modern cocktail application. Its approach—referred to as “Liquistry”—focuses on simplifying cocktails through high-quality, flavor-driven liqueurs that deliver consistency and efficiency for beverage programs.

With distribution now live through RNDC, licensed buyers across Georgia can order Winter Cherry Mountain Liqueur directly through the RNDC system.
