Finnriver Farm and Cidery - Fire Barrel (750 mL)

Finnriver Farm & Cidery's Fire Barrel cider is a barrel-aged cider made with a blend of traditional bittersweet cider apple varieties. A long-time favorite cider of ours at Press Then Press, the latest vintage (released in Spring 2025) is as good as ever. This cider is tasting phenomenal now, and has considerable aging potential.  Made from a blend of 100% organically grown cider apples grown on Finnriver's own orchard. Apple varieties include: Chisel Jersey, Brown Snout, Harry Master’s Jersey, Medaille d’Or, Frequin Rouge, Nehou and Yarlington Mill. Fermented slowly through the winter - the cool fermentation temperatures allow for development of robust esters. Aged in oak barrels after fermentation, which brings the cider balance and shape, and melds the apple characteristics with the warm and caramel whiskey notes.  Tasting Notes: Vaporous woody spice leads the nose into a caramel cream soda with a light and gently acid mid-pallet followed with the classic bittersweet apple tanni
