Templeton Rye was recently and publicly busted for this.
However, as in almost everything, there are some people trying to
do it right. Mike Beck at Uncle Johns in St. Johns, MI has a real
still and makes apple brandy and vodka. There are many others.
That's quite close to me. Haven't been there since I was a little
kid living in Dewitt, but I work in Dewitt now so in the winter I'm
within 10 miles of the place on a daily basis.
I wonder if it's the same family as Beck's Propane, Beck's Trailers,
Beck's Marine...

Dunno. I wondered too, but never asked. The family has been there
for 4-6 generations, so I am guessing they are all related somehow.
Granny Back died. John Beck is now the patriarch. Mike is his son.
Mike makes good stuff. Over the past week we had sparkling Peach
wine, Perry and Hard Cider from Mike's works. Along with that we had
a bottle of Jim Koan's Scrumpy http://organicscrumpy.com/ (Flint,
MI) and 2 bottles of my very tasty and very bubbly apple champagne
for New Years.
