"This method sounds very much like what my hillbilly grandfather used to do. I am certainly going to try some!

Applejack is a liquor that is freeze distilled, as opposed to steam distillation. George Washington owned one of the largest distilleries in colonial America and also made Applejack, which was used as currency during America’s colonial period. The word “jack” derives from the process of freeze distillation, which has historically been called “jacking.” Applejack was/is commonly distilled from apple cider."

I'm glad I came across this thread. Nothing beats a great cider.
