Alpenfire Cider - Calypso, Barrel Aged w/ Blackberries (500 mL)

About this gift

Alpenfire Cider's Calypso is made from organic heirloom apples cofermented with blackberries, then aged three months in rum barrels. This cider drinks off-dry / semi-dry and is well balanced with a complementary blackberry flavor that doesn't overpower the apples. Notes of fresh apple juice and plum, fresh blackberry swettness and tartness, and brown-sugar and baking spice rum notes on a dry apple finish. This cider pairs well with salmon dishes, as well as creamy desserts like cheesecake.

About Alpenfire Cider: Alpenfire was one of Washington State's first commercial cideries when they opened in 2006. For two decades since then, they've been very consistently releasing some of the finest craft ciders in North America. Alpenfire was also the first American cidery to obtain a certified organic designation. Their family's estate orchard in Port Townsend on the Olympic Penninsula includes around 1,000 English, French, and Heirloom apple trees.
