Elemental Cider Totally Oaked
Elemental Cider Totally Oaked is a sophisticated Heritage Cider defined by its focus on traditional fruit and refined wood character. Utilizing a base of Kingston Black and Slack Ma Girdle apples, the profile opens with a sharp, rustic apple essence and a whisper of wild spice. The extended aging in French Oak barrels imparts luxurious aromatic layers of toasted toffee and rich vanilla, which temper the high natural acidity. Despite these dessert-like cues, the palate remains strictly dry, showcasing a firm tannic structure and a lingering, woody finish. It is a harmonious marriage of orchard-driven complexity and elegant barrel integration.
Appearance. Pours a brilliant, deep golden amber (8–10 SRM) with moderate carbonation that produces a brief, thin white collar that dissipates rapidly. No lacing is present, as is typical for the style.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of spicy, bittersweet apple skin and phenolic notes from the Kingston Black fruit. Strong secondary aromas of aromatic vanilla and light caramel-toffee derived from the French Oak. Low earthy funk and no detectable sulfur or diacetyl.
Taste. The initial impression is bone-dry and acidic, immediately followed by a robust structural tannin bite. Flavors of dried apple and spice dominate the mid-palate, while the barrel aging contributes distinct vanilla and a buttery toffee note without adding sugar. The finish is long and astringent, characterized by clean wood tannins and a tart, refreshing apple snap.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a notable tannic grip that provides a pleasant drying astringency. Carbonation is moderate, providing a lively sparkle that cuts through the oak-driven weight. Alcohol presence is well-integrated, offering a very subtle, gentle warmth.
