My favorite cider from Seattle Cider Summit 2015, and probably one of my favorite ciders ever...its that good! On the sweeter side of dry. Strong unique bourbon barrel flavor, but not overwhelming. Very smooth. Light bodied. Higher tannins. Aged in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels for 4 months. Made with Dabinett & Kingston Black cider apples and wine yeast. Awesome!
This was my first time trying their Traditions line, which uses cider apples and is sold in 750 ml bottles (vs. the regular 2 Towns line which uses dessert apples and is sold in 500ml bottles, plus a couple selections in cans). Definitely try this one if you can find some! I was very happy to get my hands on a bottle (at Full Throttle Bottles for ~$17, as they ran out at Cider Summit, or couldn’t find it or whatever).
Update: I finally got around to drinking the bottle. I'm not a big fan this time around, for whatever reason. It tastes fairly bitter.
