Alpenfire Cider Gin Golden Russet Barrel Aged Cider
This sophisticated single-varietal cider showcases the concentrated character of the Golden Russet apple, further elevated by nine months of maturation in Big Gin barrels. A bone-dry profile emerges from native yeast fermentation, offering a complex interplay of sharp acidity and nuanced herbal botanicals. The gin barrel influence introduces delicate notes of juniper and spice that intertwine with the apple’s natural honeyed and nutty depth. Expect a clean, structured finish where the high acidity provides a refreshing counterpoint to the subtle spirit warmth, resulting in a vibrant, multifaceted sensory experience that highlights both the orchard and the distillery.
Appearance. Deep gold to amber in color (SRM 6-9). Brilliant clarity with a still or very light petillant carbonation level; no head retention or lacing, though a slight legs effect may be visible due to the 8.4% ABV.
Aroma. High intensity featuring rich, spicy apple and pear skin notes from the Golden Russet. The gin barrel provides a distinct herbal layer of juniper, coriander, and light pine. Native yeast fermentation adds a subtle earthy complexity, while the barrel aging contributes a light toasted oak and faint spirituous warmth.
Taste. The initial impression is sharp and bone-dry. Strong flavors of concentrated cider apple and spice are balanced by the herbal, botanical influence of gin. There is no residual sugar, making the high acidity prominent and clean. Tannins from the apple skins and oak provide structure without harshness. The finish is long and dry with a lingering botanical zest.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, slightly puckering acidity. Carbonation is very low. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. Light astringency from the tannins adds a pleasant drying texture to the palate.
