Alpenfire Cider Smoke | Barrel Aged Reserve
Alpenfire Cider Smoke is a decadent, fortified Specialty Cider that commands attention with its massive 18% ABV. Expect an olfactory journey starting with assertive peated whiskey smoke and medicinal iodine, giving way to the spicy, toasted grain notes of a rye whiskey barrel. The palate is flooded with the concentrated essence of bittersweet apples, layered with vanilla and wood tannins from extended oak aging. Rich apple brandy fortification provides a deep, spirity warmth that melds with caramel and honeyed sweetness. Complex and brooding, the finish lingers with a sophisticated balance of campfire embers and dark fruit preserves.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to burnt amber with brilliant clarity; still with no carbonation or head, leaving thick, viscous legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant earthy peat smoke and medicinal notes layered over rich, caramelized apple. Secondary notes of spicy rye, vanilla, and charred oak are prominent, supported by a significant but clean brandy-like alcohol presence and hints of dried apricot.
Taste. Intense and complex; initial wave of honeyed, concentrated apple sweetness is quickly met by assertive peat smoke and peppery rye spice. The mid-palate reveals bittersweet apple tannins and toasted oak. The finish is long and warming, with a lingering apple brandy character and a balanced, non-cloying sweetness that dries out slightly due to wood tannins.
Mouthfeel. Very full, syrupy, and viscous body; no carbonation; significant alcohol warmth that is smooth rather than harsh; light to moderate astringency from the oak and bittersweet apples.
