This Vermont Ice Cider is made from 100% Northern Spy apples, and aged in French oak chardonnay barrels for an extra year. Northern Spy is an antique variety of apple that was one of the three most popular in America at the end of the 19th century. It has a sweetly tart flavor that is superbly enhanced by the oak. Spicy, with honey caramel under-tones, it is a wonderful after-dinner drink. Enjoy in front of the fire with almond cookies, nuts, dried fruit or a ripe blue cheese.
Tasting Notes: baked apple, vanilla toffee, toasted hazelnut, tart cherry
Pairing: cheese, as dessert-in-a-glass, or accompanying dessert, or just to sip in front of a tv screen or a fire
Our ice ciders are produced from locally-grown traditional and heirloom variety apples.
