Elegast Cidery

This sophisticated Wood-Aged Cider presents a masterful marriage between soft, harvest-fresh apple notes and the intense depth of a 21-year-old Foursquare rum barrel. The sensory journey begins with an elegant nose of fermented apples, dark brown sugar, and toasted oak. On the palate, the cider's natural acidity is rounded by the rich, spirit-forward influence of the rum, offering layers of vanilla, spice, and molasses. The finish is remarkably dry, showcasing the refined wood tannins and a lingering warmth from the barrel's previous occupant, resulting in a complex and structured cider with a spirited and refined character.

Appearance. Brilliant, pale gold to deep amber; still to very light carbonation with no significant head formation or lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with bright, clean apple notes and hints of peel; dominant secondary notes of aged rum, featuring vanilla, toasted oak, molasses, and subtle clove from the 21-year-old Foursquare barrel.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp apple tartness followed by deep barrel character; dry profile with flavors of caramel, charred wood, and spice-heavy rum. Low acidity and no bitterness; finish is long, dry, and warming with a slight wood tannin.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slight oily texture from wood aging; low carbonation; noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth; low astringency from oak tannins.
