New York’s Applejack, Barking Irons, today announces their New York to the Core campaign.
Rooted in the brand’s provenance – Made in New York, entirely from New York State apples – the campaign is a celebration of all things great about New York. Through a new social content series launching this November, the campaign will highlight NY’s small businesses community’s resiliency while also providing signage for liquor stores, bars, and restaurants, encouraging their respective patrons to abide by a New York to the Core pledge. The campaign will also be distributing face coverings for the trade community on the frontlines of our city’s unpredictable comeback.
Underpinning the new campaign is the brand’s strong adoption by the New York market with doubled year over year growth since its introduction four years ago. To support their home market, Barking Irons is working with local partners to introduce their signature hot drink, the Lower East Cider. The spiced New York apple cider spiked with Barking Irons Apple brandy is well suited to keep New Yorkers warm during the new normal of year-round outdoor dining, and is as versatile as the ingredients any bartender or home bartender has available.

1.5 oz. Barking Irons Barrel-Aged Applejack
