This limited cider is a rare treat! We have been fortunate to get to work with some apple varieties only a couple generations removed from their native ancestors in the hills of Kazakhstan.

It's a refreshingly thirst-quenching cider – light, bright, but deep at the same time. There's a soft fruit flavor floating throughout that Lars thought was something like apricot jam, but we think Grace hit the nail on the head when she pegged it as starfruit. It's a light, creamy, hard-to-pin-down flavor. That's all hovering over subtle deeper tones of caramel, vanilla, fresh biscuits and roasted marshmallows from the Dry Fly barrels. Read Less

Taking the best of the best of our ciders, Cidermaker's Reserve is a celebration of all the rich complexity cider apples have to offer. After a year of maturation, this cider then begins the full Méthode Champenoise process of in-bottle fermentation, which develops further layers of nuance. The labor of love pays off; its months of conditioning, riddling, and finishing yield a dry cider with continuously unfolding layers of spicy bittersweet apple character, citrusy brightness, and subtleties of toffee, aromatic wood and earth.

We've crafted this cider in the New England tradition, with apples of higher acidity and just a touch of brown sugar and honey (in New England, it used to be common to intensify the alcohol of the ciders by upping the sugar before fermentation by adding brown sugar, molasses, honey, maple syrup, etc.). Vibrant lime-honey brightness holds counterpoint to darker flavors of caramel and toasted marshmallow, and maturation on oak imparts smooth balance and subtle vanilla quality. Read Less

This luscious perry is crafted from true old-world perry pear varieties grown in central Washington. The experience is rich, full-bodied and juicy with ripe and dried pear flavors, honey smoothness balanced with crisp astringency and a touch of appealing subtle woodsy tannin. Each bottle has been through secondary in-bottle fermentation and riddled, disgorged and corked by hand in an intensive labor of love. Read Less
