Description

Our ‘Fire & Ice’ ice cider starts with a slightly modified base of our original recipe, then aged in oak barrels that previously held Bourbon whisky for a minimum of twelve months.This unique aging process harmonizes rich apple notes with bold layers of caramel and toasted vanilla. A truly exquisite ice cider—crafted, as always, solely from apples ripened and frozen on the tree.

Apple Varieties
Fuji, Russet, Gala, Cortland, Honeycrisp, McIntosh

Production Method
Cryo-Extraction – This premium ice cider begins its journey in January or February when tree-frozen apples are harvested. While still frozen, they are slowly pressed to yield a nectar that is intensely sweet and concentrated. The juice is then carefully fermented over several months. Once the ideal balance between sweetness and acidity is reached, fermentation is stopped and the cider is aged in ex-Bourbon oak barrels for at least twelve months before bottling.

Tasting Notes
Serve chilled between 10°C and 12°C
Enjoy as a dessert or digestif. Pairs beautifully with fine cheeses and dark chocolate.
